I had a similar problem.  I needed to make some changes to the informixdb
Makefile in order to achieve a successfull import.  The key change is on
the LIBS definition line

old definition:

LIBS=-lasf -lsql -los -lgen

new definition:

LIBS=-lixsql -lixasf -lixgen -lixos -lixgls -lnsl -lsocket -laio -lm
/usr/local/informix/lib/esql/checkapi.o -lixglx

You may need a slightly different definition of LIBS in your environment.
Typing "esql -libs" at a command prompt should give you the necessary
linking information.
