This is a key issue (connecting with DB-Access on the server machine). The error 107 (discussed in previous emails in this thread) has me a bit puzzled. Does Fedora Core 6 have an error value (from errno.h) for 107? If so, does the associated message drop any hints? Taken at face value, it appears that someone has the database locked in exclusive mode (though I'd like to think the error would say that more clearly). Did the process (session) that created the database complete yet? Classically, you get exclusive access when you create a database, up until you terminate the session that created the DB. When you connect using DB-Access, you are using the same server name and sqlhosts values; you aren't suddenly switching to shared memory connections or anything like that? You're using CSDK 2.90.UC2; that's good. Close enough to the most recent version that it is unlikely to be the cause of the trouble. You seem to be connecting to IDS as either root or informix - frankly, you should do neither. Treat them both with extreme caution - they are just about equally powerful with respect to IDS. I never do things like building DBD::Informix as either informix or root; I'd find (or create) another user to do the work as. If I actually needed to install DBD::Informix as root, I'd use the privileges then, but only then.
