DBI:Informix and DBD:Informix

[Steven_181]

Dear All,

We have an rx2620 with 11.23 running on ia64 itanium. We have install HP C/ANSI C compiler and also GCC compiler as well.

We have standard perl 5.8.3 installed.
We have Informix 9.4 for ia64, ESQL 2.90 FC4,
CSDK 2.90 running.

We also get DBI 1.42 installed.

Does anyone know which is the compatiable version to install for DBD-Informix?

We tried version DBD-Informix-1.00.PC2 but get the following message:

Using IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.FC4 from /apps/informix94
Argument "IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Versio..." isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at Makefile.PL line 128.

The ESQL/C version information found was: <>
DBD::Informix failed to find a version number (IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.FC4).
Please report this to the DBD::Informix maintenance team.
at Makefile.PL line 130.

Then we tried version DBD-Informix-2003.04
and we get different message.

Using IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.FC4 from /apps/informix94

IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.FC4 does not support string-named cursors.
This version of DBD::Informix requires this facility.
There are no longer any plans to back-port DBD::Informix
to such old and obsolete versions of ESQL/C.
Please investigate upgrading your software.
If all else fails, try installing DBD::Informix4 instead.


Any ideas?
