Hi,
I wonder if somebody can shed some light on a problem I'm having. I've been
asked to get DBD Informix built on a linux box and it's giving me some
greif.
The client machine is running the 2.2.12-20smp kernel, perl -v outputs
v5.6.0, I've grabbed informix_client_sdk_v2.40.uc1_2_for_intel_linux.zip
from Informix and installed it and I'm trying to install
DBD-Informix-1.00.PC1.
The server I'm trying to connect to is Solaris 2.6 and the DB is Informix
7.30.UC2.
/etc/services and $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts are OK. I've already searched
the web for a solution to this so I know we need to be using the ontlitcp
protocol on the server, and we are. The environment on the client looks
spot-on to my eyes (I can give more details on this if needed) and I can
rsh/rlogin to the server no problem.
So, my problem is, why am I seeing this...
Testing connection to test_db
CONNECT TO 'test_db' with user info
SQL: 25507: The specified service name or protocol is unknown.
... when I try building the software? I've tried setting the $DBI_DBNAME,
the $DBD_INFORMIX_USER and the $DBD_INFORMIX_PASSWORD to the appropriate
values, still the same.
Does anyone know what's up? Have I missed something in the docs? Any help or
suggestions much appreciated.
Cheers,
Will Mc Donald.
