Last modified: 03 Apr 2024
Informix Client SDK and Informix Connect run on most systems that have a UNIX, Linux, or Windows operating system and, starting with version 3.5, also on the Mac OS X operating system.
Starting with version 4.50.xC4, stand-alone installation of the Client SDK requires a minimum version of OpenSSL 1.0.x to be installed on the system. Refer to https://www.openssl.org for more information on OpenSSL.

** Following system libraries are needed for IBM Informix Dynamic Server version 14.10.FC9 and greater to run on Red Hat Linux 9. Higher versions of same libraries are installed on Red Hat Linux 9. As a workaround, symbolic links to those libraries need to be created.
Libraries needed for Informix:
libncurses.so.5
libtinfo.so.5
Libraries installed on Red Hat Linux 9:
libncurses.so.6
libtinfo.so.6
Workaround:
Run following commands as root user from /usr/lib64 directory.
ln -s libncurses.so.6 libncurses.so.5
ln -s libtinfo.so.6 libtinfo.so.5
