Re: DBD::Informix ld.so.1 unable to find .so file

I don't think that you want to put the full path of the dynamic library but to the directory it is in, the DBD::Informix will need other libraries beyond libifsql.so I'm pretty sure.

As a matter of interest how did you manage to build the DBD::Informix like this, my recollection was that is built a small ESQL/C program to check whether the build environment would work.

Yes sorry i changed the ld_library path to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./arch/sparc-sun-solaris/lib/64 But i still get the same error. `Can't load '/apps/exlink/orc/arch/sparc-sun-solaris/perl/lib/site_perl +/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.so' for module DBD::In +formix: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libifsql.so: open failed: No such file +or directory at /apps/exlink/orc/arch/sparc-sun-solaris/perl/lib/5.8. +5/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at test.pl line 3 Compilation failed in require at test.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 3.` [download] This build was done by someone else i have just seen that DBD::Informix has been installed in the perl dist, and i am trying to use it. It is strange that i can't.	[reply] [d/l]

Ah, I didn't notice before because of the tiny font I appear to have set on this screen but you have a relative path set for the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, I don't think you can guarantee that the dynamic loader will have the same working directory as you, so you should put the full path to the informix libraries, this will normally be rooted in `$INFORMIXDIR` which almost certainly must be set for the libraries to find the sqlhosts file and so forth. I have the equivalent of an `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` of: `$INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli:$INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql` [download] but you probably will need to check with the person that installed the Informix Client-SDK. You might also consider asking in the newsgroup comp.databases.informix as I for one haven't used Informix on Solaris for a number of years now. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]
