With DBD::Informix, it depends on how it was compiled and on where you are placing the new version of CSDK. By default, the compilation includes the absolute pathname of the Informix shared libraries, so if you are leaving the existing libraries where they are, you need do nothing. If you are installing the new libraries over the old ones (no parallel running), then you need do nothing. If you are going to relocate the new software and (sooner or later) remove the old, then you need to recompile with the new version of CSDK. If you did a non-default compile with DBD_INFORMIX_RELOCATABLE_INFORMIXDIR set in the environment, then you simply need to adjust the value of SHLIB_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever to include the new library directories instead of the old ones. -- Jonathan Leffler ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Guardian of DBD::Informix 1.00.PC1 -- see http://www.cpan.org/ #include <disclaimer.h>
