You may have to add '-lcrypt' to the Setup line of
the module. Some systems have that API in the standard C lib,
others don't.

If you use the ODBC from OpenLink or Intersolv, mxODBC should
have no problem connecting to your Informix DB. OpenLink gives
away a 2-user/10-connect license version of their driver package
for free. With it you can then not only connect to Informix on
Unix, but also to just about any database in your network.
