I have to install a DBD driver for Informix on a Linux box (Mandrake 9.0) in a need to access an existing Informix database site hosted on another AIX machine.
I found the latest package on CPAN (DBD-Informix-1.04.PC1.tar.gz). The installation process on the Linux Box requires that Informix be installed first : <<QUOTE>> You must have a version of IBM Informix Client SDK (or IBM Informix ESQL/C) installed on the computer where you wish to compile DBD::Informix. IBM Informix Connect is not sufficient for compiling DBD::Informix. The Notes/FAQ file contains more information about what you need. ESQL/C Versions 4.1x and earlier are not (and will not be) supported by DBD::Informix. ESQL/C Versions 5.00 and up should be OK. If you do not have ESQL/C, DBD::Informix will not work. <<END QUOTE>> The site www.informix.com is no longer active, so I'm stuck not being able to install Informix, when in fact I do not need it on the Linux box. What one can suggest about this deadlock situation? Does someone have a binary version (rpm or else) of the DBD driver that would work with DBI 1.32 and a Mandrake 9.0 distribution.
