i have a linux 7.3 os, successfully installed informix-client-sdk and am
trying to install dbd::informix to no avail. the dbd install is telling me
file libifsql.so can't be found...well, it doesnt exist !! :

%> perl Makefile.PL
Configuring IBM Informix Database Driver for Perl Version 1.00.PC2
(2002-02-01) (aka DBD::Informix)
You are using DBI version 1.20 and Perl version 5.006001
Remember to actually read the README file!
Perl: perl5.006001 i386-linux dl_dlopen.xs
System: linux daffy.perf.redhat.com 2.4.17-0.13smp #1 smp fri feb 1
10:30:48 est 2002 i686 unknown
Compiler:
gcc -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include
Using INFORMIX-ESQL Version 9.51.UC3 from /usr/local/informix-client-sdk
Beware: DBD::Informix is not yet aware of all the new IUS data types.
Assert macro will be disabled!
Testing whether your Informix test environment will work...
/usr/local/informix-client-sdk/lib/esql/libifos.so: the use of `mktemp' is
dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
../esqltest: error while loading shared libraries: libifsql.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
The test program esqltest compiled successfully (which is good).
However, it did not run successfully (which is bad).
If the esqltest program did not produce any output:
This suggests that there is a problem with the ESQL/C runtime
environment, or with the database permissions (in which case, you
should have seen diagnostics from the esqltest program itself).
Consider whether the shared library path environment variable (eg
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or SHLIB_PATH) is set correctly.
If the esqltest program did produce some output:
This suggests that you do not have enough permissions in your
Informix environment. You really need DBA (at least RESOURCE)
level privileges on the database you are using.
If you might be having problems with ESQL/C, try to compile and run
the simple ESQL/C program esqlbasic.ec, which has no Perl related
code in it at all -- it is a pure ESQL/C program:
esql -o esqlbasic esqlbasic.ec && esqlbasic
If you can't get that to work, then the problem is with ESQL/C
and not with DBD::Informix per se, and you need to get your ESQL/C
installation fixed so that you can compile and run the esqlbasic
program successfully.
Make sure you've read the whole README file before asking the
DBI/DBD community for help!
