Re: Error -25574 with SCO & ESQL/C

David, Thanks. The sqlhosts file is OK because sqlexecd starts and dbaccess works. It contains "setlitcp" as the release notes specify. I have discovered a solution, although I don't know why I needed to do it. I changed the $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql script to NOT link in $INFORMIXDIR/lib/netstub.a and instead link with "-lnsl". Now things that I compile work also. I wish I knew why this was necessary and things didn't work out of the box, but at least things work now.
