Attempting to install DBD::Informix via cpan on AIX 5.3 TL11 SP 07 with Informix DS 11.50 FC6. Perl is the AIX LPP version 5.8.8 in /usr/opt/perl5. C compiler is IBM vac, looks like version 7. While this is a 64 bit environment, the perl by default is 32 bit and so I installed CSDK 11.70 UC3 in order to satisfy perl (it looked simpler than trying to maintain changing the links to 64 bit perl). When it failed, I installed CSDK 11.50 UC8 in case it was related to the newer CSDK, but the results are the same. Make looks OK but install fails 2 tests. Any advice would be much appreciated.The failures are t32nulls.t t/t32nulls..........ok 1/7DBD::Informix::st execute failed: SQL: -406: Memory allocation failed. at t/t32nulls.t line 38. !!

I cannot help you with Informix itself but the maintainer might find it easier to diagnose the problem if you run prove -vb t/t32nulls and similarly on t61varchar as the output is more verbose. Martin <snipped other info> Martin -- Martin J. Evans Easysoft Limited http://www.easysoft.com
