DBI 1.02, DBD::Informix 0.60 works on RedHat 5.1; so would most other combinations which are self-consistent, I think, though I'm certainly not planning to do any testing of older versions. > If someone has already done so! please tell me where > I can get these drivers! See my signature... What problem(s) are you having? Have you set DBPATH? Have you got ESQL/C running OK? If you haven't got ESQL/C up and running, you do have problems. It should work out of the box on Caldera 1.2 and S.u.S.E 5.2, but the glibc ports require some extra setup. I have previously posted a patch to c.d.i for the esql script for glibc ports of Linux (eg RedHat 5.1). It will soon appear on the IDN web site -- http://www.informix.com/idn -- in the D4GL section (for inscrutable reasons). Also, did you read the README files? Possibly not if you don't yet have the software -- but you should read them. They're available from CPAN separately from the full source for DBI and DBD::Informix. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
