I have found that I needed to make some changes to the Makefile in order to
successfully import the module.  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

(Typing "esql -libs" at a command prompt gave me the necessary information.)
