This may be the source of your problem. Your $INFORMIXDIR is /opt/informix, yet your dynamic linker finds the Informix libraries in /usr/local/informix. Unless /opt/informix is a symlink to /usr/local/informix, you have two versions of ESQL/C on your system. One lives in /opt/informix, and it has sqli_describe_input_stmt, the other is in /usr/local/informix, and it doesn't have sqli_describe_input_stmt. You compiled with the former, and you're trying to run with the latter. If /opt/informix and /usr/local/informix are in fact two different locations, correct your dynamic linker configuration ($LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/ld.so.conf.d) to make sure that it loads libraries from /opt/informix instead of /usr/local/informix. > "esql -V" returns: > > IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.UC1 > Software Serial Number RDS#N000000 That version should have sqli_describe_input_stmt. > > The grep command Jeff wrote about - > "grep -i -r sqli_describe_input_stmt /usr/lib/*" returns: > [...] > Binary file /usr/lib/libifsql.so matches > [...] This is a red herring because you should be looking at /usr/local/informix/lib, since that's the library being pulled in by the dynamic linker according to ldd. What does "grep sqli_describe_input_stmt /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifsql.so" show?
