Carsten, Jeff, Thank you for the responses.
Carsten here is the out put from the commands you listed.
INFORMIXDIR is set to /opt/informix when I compiled the module and when
I try to run the module
"ldd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_informixdb.so" returns:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x004db000)
libifsql.so => /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifsql.so (0x00376000)
libifasf.so => /usr/local/informix/lib/libifasf.so (0x006c7000)
libifgen.so => /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifgen.so (0x00632000)
libifos.so => /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifos.so (0x007b7000)
libifgls.so => /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.so (0x0014d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00187000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00bad000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00111000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x006a9000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00133000
"esql -V" returns:
IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.UC1
Software Serial Number RDS#N000000

"grep -i -r sqli_describe_input_stmt /usr/lib/*" returns:

your system. What output do you get from the command "ldd
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_informixdb.so"? What version does
"esql -V" report? What was $INFORMIXDIR set to when you compiled the
module? Is $INFORMIXDIR set to something different when you try to run
the module, and if so, what is it set to?
