sqlcmd-72.00 compile problems

I downloaded and installed the latest client SDK from Informix this morning (2.81 UC2). I downloaded sqlcmd-72.00 as well. I ran ./configure. No problems. I ran 'make' and got the following messages after getting pretty far: INFORMIXC="gcc" esql -o appblob appblob.o libjlss.a/opt/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_b' /opt/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_toupper' /opt/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_tolower' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [appblob] Error 1 I checked the files in /opt/informix/lib/esql/ and see a libifgls.so that is older (May 15) compared to the libifgls.a which has today's date (when I installed the CSDK), but both were put on the system today when I installed the CSDK (because I started with a clean slate). All the remaining compilations from 'make -k' show this error, too. How do I get past this problem? Mark

This is basically the RedHat 9 problem alluded to elsewherein c.d.i today - it is primarily a bug in ESQL/C rather than any of the code in SQLCMD per se. I've lost track of the correct version of CSDK for fixing this problem - I think it exists, but I'm not sure what the number is (beyond, apparently, being later than 2.81.UC2). According to one of the other posts, the ESQL/C version 9.53.UC2 has the errno problem fixed - and presumably this one too. When you type 'esql -V', is this the version you get? -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/

Yes, I install the latest and greatest (2.81.UC2 - ESQL 9.53), and I know that it is a problem with ESQL/C and not sqlcmd. A poster from IBM has told me privately that IBM is working on a patch (2.81.UC3) that should address the problem and be out later in the quarter. But I can't wait that long. I have about 15-20 scripts that do various jobs for our operations that are now broken since upgrading to RH9. I must either fix sqlcmd or rework the code in all those scripts. The part that fails during compilation is at link-time with libifsgl.so, and I figured that if I can link with the static library libifsgl.a then maybe it might work. But I don't know how to link statically as it seems that it is controlled by esql, not sqlcmd's Makefile... Ideas?
