In Response To: Install DBD-Informix on 64bit RHEL (CHENG ZOU)

It is doable, at least in a Solaris environmnent.

If you have to change anything is more probably some option on the ld
rather than the gcc.

Why don't just install a 64 bits CSDK, which is free, in another
directory where your engine is installed and use that directory as your
informixdir to compile the Perl Module?

Subject: Install DBD-Informix on 64bit RHEL [13644]

Dear Everyone,
I got a 64bit RHEL running 32bit IDS11(we don't have 32bit IDS). The
processor
is a Xeon 3000, therefore I believe that 32bit software will run.
Everything
goes fine until we got this DBD-Informix problem. Because the perl is a
64bit
version (5.10.0), but the esql is a 32bit. We got error messages as
following,

*-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea what this '-lifsql' is. I checked on google that someone
believe it is something to do with gcc flags, say '-m32'...... Is there
anyone
successfully installed DBD-Informix on a 64bit box? Or we should just
move
back to 32bit RHEL?

Thank you
