While they do not include it in the stuff you download, OpenLink CAN provide these shared libraries to you. I installed and used the INFORMIX-7 driver at a client site a few months back. It worked very well. At that time, the location of the shared libraries was hard-coded in the the INFORMIX-7 agent, but they were planning on making it a configuration parameter or enviornment variable. I don't know if they have done that yet. Try contacting OpenLink by phone or through their CompuServe forum. (GO OPENLINK) They can probably e-mail you what you need.
