Hi Sagar,
I've tried to get hold of RHEL Tikanga, but it is pretty old (much older
than the version of Perl you are using) and not available for a
sufficiently nominal fee that I can afford to get it just to sort out your
problem.
Please provide the information requested in the Notes/bug.reports file —
most notably the output of 'perl -V' (capital V), which gives information
about the compilation flags used to create Perl, and whether it is
threaded, etc. With that information, I will then try to create a version
of Perl analogous to yours, and then install DBI and DBD::Informix. I'll
be using Ubuntu 14.04 (in a VM), at least in the first instance. But I had
no problems with the system provided Perl 5.18.2 (compiled with threading).
'perl -V' output for Ubuntu 14.04:
