Hello, I have got Caldera 1.3 with Linux kernel 2.0.35. I have installed SE (free download) and this works fine, I can create databases, tables, queries etc with dbaccess. I have downloaded the Informix 4GL and Informix Debugger version 7.20.UD1. and installed both. As user informix I try to run fgldb, i4gl, c4gl from $INFORMIXDIR/bin using the command ./fgldb, ./i4gl or ./c4gl. I receive the error messages fgldb: No such file or directory i4gl: No such file or directory c4gl: No such file or directory The permissions for these files are rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 1336879 APR 14 18:14 flgdb rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 1098566 APR 14 18:14 i4gl Can anybody tell me why they will not run?? Thanks in advance .. . .

One possibility, using the shell ./ syntax requires that the directory tree be executable so if INFORMIXDIR=/usr/opt/informix/ifmx7.30 then /usr, /usr/opt, /usr/opt/informix, and $INFORMIXDIR itself as well as $INFORMIXDIR/bin must all have execute permissions for informix or other (ie at least r-xr-xr-x) on the directories themselves. Can you execute these programs using PATH? Art S. Kagel

Please get 7.20.UD7 - it has some rather important bug fixes in it. Little things, like interrupt handling. > As user informix I try to run fgldb, i4gl, c4gl from $INFORMIXDIR/bin > using the command ./fgldb, ./i4gl or ./c4gl.

If you run "file fgldb", what does it say? If you run "ldd fgldb", what does it say? Finally, note that to use fgldb, you need the p-code compiler, fglpc etc, available from I4GL-RDS. You can't use fgldb to debug I4GL c-code programs compiled with c4gl. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
