unixODBC

Hi,

we do have informix databases for our company. With our new Linux-Applicationservers we want to connect to the database via ODBC. I installed unixODBC (Ver. 2.3.1). With the configure-script I set up the odbc.ini path to /etc. After i copyed the right odbc.ini into /etc i tried to connect to the database via isql. It didnt work. I tried using the parameter -v to get an the error maybe. The output is as follow:

[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/opt/IBM/informix/lib/cli/libifcli.so' : file not found

I searched for this file and it was there like expectet.

Does somebody have some ideas?

Thanks for help!

Have you checked the permissions on that file?

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yeah i checked them already.
It is 755
It also dont work as root - at least as root i should have the permission.
But i think i would get another error message if i hadn't enough permissions yet.

Code:

helios:~ # ls -ltr /opt/IBM/informix/lib/cli/libifcli.so                        
-rwxr-xr-x 3 informix informix 1835866 Jun  4 12:36 /opt/IBM/informix/lib/cli/libifcli.so
helios:~ #

You could try running isql via strace. That should tell you what's really going on (but you'll probably have to wade through several pages of text to find the problem).
