RE: DBIMPORT 2KB page to 4KB page

In Response To: Re: DBIMPORT 2KB page to 4KB page (Art Kagel)

I am trying to make utils2_ak on a fedora 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 box. When running `make`, I receive the following errors. Any suggestions for help:?

INFORMIXC-gcc esql -DHAVE_GNU_GETOPT=1 -o ul ul.ec -L/usr/lib -lgen
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgen
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make:*** [ul] Error 1
