Very Computer

I've gotten most of the way in successfully installing SE on RH5.1 Linux.  

However, when I've gotten to trying to use dbaccess, I get the opening
window, but when I try and select a database I get the the following
error:

25591: Transport protocol received an invalid connect or address.

I've changed the 'on_hostname' of my $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts to
'localhost' seeing as how when I type 'hostname' I get
'localhost.localdomain'.

What else do I need to do in order to remedy the above error?

Thanks in advance.

Incorrect.  You need to use precisely the output of "uname -n".

GNU/Linux: The little OS that could, does and will.

I'm using RH 5.1 on a machine at home and a machine in the office,
and I'm using the SE and ESQL/C 7.24.UC5 released back in July.

I made two sets of changes to the esql script to get it to work the
way I want it to:
        *       Add -lcrypt after -lm
        *       Add code to recognize '-c' as an option, and
        *       Add code to zap all the library names when -c was
                used as an option because GCC complains if you say
                        gcc -c xyz.c -lm

With those two (or three; it depends on how you count them) changes,
I've been running my SQLCMD program quite happily.  That's a non-
trivial hunk of ESQL/C code.  On my machine at home, I had enough
disk space to install Everything; on the machine in the office, I
had 1/10th the space, so I didn;t install everything.  I don't think
that I'm using the libc5 compatability libraries on either machine,
but equally, I'm not running into problems.

I've had other reports that there are problems with RH.

The 25591 error sounds like a networking problem. Use seipcpip
connections instead unless you've got a very good reason no to do so.

Remember: I speak for myself, not for Informix -- especially this time.

Where can I get SE for RH Linux?
