You're right, it's missing a library. To correct, either get the 4.00.UH2 update (if you have maintenance, it's free, I think). To get it working in your version, look for the "cc" line in the c4gl script. Add -lcurses to the end, e.g. exec cc -I$INFDIR/incl $A $INFDIR/lib/lib4gl.a \\ $INFDIR/lib/libforms.a $INFDIR/lib/libsql.a -lcurses ^^^^^^^^ If you ever get "ftime" as an unresolved external, add -lx as well. If you have RDS/ID and you ever compile your own runners/debuggers, make the same change to the cfglgo and cfgldb script. -- Alan Denney aland@informix.com {pyramid|uunet}!infmx!aland I says, "Earl, this hill can spill us you better slow down or you're gonna kill us just make one mistake, and it's the Pearly Gates for them 85 crates of U.S.D.A.-approved cluckers.
