Informix on SuSE Linux 6.2

Just installed the Informix SE from the SuSE CD's and have a couple of questions. The README.TXT file is not a text file. It appears to be some sort of binay document. I tried to open it with word perfect and then with acroread and both failed. How do I read the README.TXT file? In the demo directory I found some basic esql C programs (demo1.ec). I would like to compile and run the demo1.ec program. It seemed to compile OK but when I tried to run it I get this error message. demo1: error in loading shared libraries: libifsql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. This directory does exist on my system. How do I tell the program where to find it? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am new to C and there did not seem to be any makefiles in the demo directory. Is there a FAQ for Linux - Informix issues? Thanks KJD

Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include $INFORMIXDIR/lib and $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql.
