Using INFORMIXDIR=/informix_10 and ESQL/C compiler esql Using IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.UC3 from /informix_10 Note that bug RT#13708 (IBM CQ bug idsdb00139040) may affect you. In particular, if test t/t93lvarchar.t detects problems, consider an upgrade to CSDK 3.00 or later - it seems to be fixed there. All other parts of DBD::Informix will probably work.
