[DB-SIG] informixdb not working

[Bertil Reinhammar]

!!!
Investigating...
To my profound surprise I find that the informixdb.tar.gz, available at =
www.python.org,
is *not* the one I once delivered. I still claim to be maintainer of =
this module, if someone disagrees, please speak up !
Further, I downloaded, compiled and tried it on a Solaris 2.5 box. =
Result: Core dump.

Seems to work with blob.
Seems not to work with dbiDate stuff active which gives me a clue as to =
what is
going on.

I fear that the currently present informixdb.tar.gz is VOID and should =
not be used.

Thomas: please provide more info, your problem may not stem from the =
same source.
E.g. have you done *anything* but unpack and compile ?

Stay tuned...

Hello!

I'm new to this mailinglist and also new to python. Please excuse me if =
this
question has already been asked a couple of times.

After i fixed i little typo in dbi.c (patch attached) i tried to use it.

After further investigating the problem i came up with the following:


[thomas@sun1 ~]$python
Python 1.4 (Dec 12 1996)  [GCC 2.7.2]
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import _informixdb
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: =
_PyObject_New: referenced in /usr/local/lib/python1.4/_informixdb.so
>>>=20

Can someone help me with an idea about what's going wrong here?

Thanks in advance.
