Newbie `bout Informix/RH60 install

I'm trying to start informix on RedHat6.0, but oninit fails with "Segmentation fault". Any other executable says "Unable to load locale categories". What could be the problem? Any suggestions? Thanks. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

You must set and export the environment variable INFORMIXDIR set to the parent directory of the bin containing the oninit executable for ALL users and for the login session that is attempting the start the engine. If you have not set this one there are probably others you have overlooked which will bite you next: ONCONFIG The name of the config file if not "onconfig.std" (set it anyway if you did not make a copy of that sample file). DBSPACETEMP List of dbspaces to use for sorting (non-critical) INFORMIXSERVER The name you gave to your instance in the ONCONFIG file in the DBSERVERNAME parameter. PATH Add $INFORMIXDIR/bin to the path of the session starting the engine, and all user PATHs. DBPATH List of fallback servers' DBSERVERNAMEs in case the local INFORMIXSERVER is not available. Art S.

The locale categories message implies that you've not set INFORMIXDIR. Oninit shouldn't fail with segmentation faults. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
