Release
          SCO OpenServer Release 6.0.0 
Problem
          I would like to install the INFORMIX-4GL Version 7.20.UE2 
          on my OpenServer 6.0.0 system. Is there anything special 
          that I need to  
          consider when installing this package?


Solution
          The INFORMIX-4GL Version 7.20.UE2 runtime and/or 
          development kit were both designed to install and run on 
          OpenServer 5 systems.  
           
          OpenServer 6.0.0 has been designed to run OpenServer 5 
          applications and the INFORMIX-4GL runtime and development 
          packages are both known to install and run on OpenServer 
          6.0.0. 
           
          To install either the INFORMIX-4GL runtime or development 
          kit you will need to do the following: 
           
          1) Install the SCO OpenServer Development Kit 
           
          If you intend to develop Informix applications then you 
          will need to install the SCO OpenServer Development Kit 
          before you proceed. The Development Kit is on your SCO 
          OpenServer 6.0.0 CD1 and is installed 
          using the Software Manager (custom). 
           
          
NOTE:
      You will require a license to install the OpenServer 
          Development Kit. 
           
          2) Install Openserver 6.0.0 Maintenance Pack 3 
           
          You must install OpenServer 6.0.0 Maintenance Pack 3 (MP3) 
          before you install any Informix product. You can find MP3 and 
          installation instructions for it at: 
           
          http://www.sco.com/support/update/download/release.php?rid=295 
           
          and it may also be included in your media kit if you have 
          a recent version of the OpenServer 6.0.0 media kit. 
           
          3) Install the INFORMIX-4GL package 
           
          Please read the Installation Guide for your INFORMIX-4GL 
          package and make sure you observe the "Installation Order" 
          that is specified. For example, if you are installing the 
          INFORMIX IDS Server and INFORMIX-4GL then you MUST install 
          INFORMIX-4GL before the IDS server. 
           
          - Login to your OpenServer 6.0.0 machine as root. 
           
          - Using the Account Manager, create a new group called  
           
          informix  
           
          with id >= 100 
           
          - Using the Account Manager create new user called  
           
          informix  
           
          and make the informix group the login group of the 
          informix user. 
           
          - Will will use 
           
           /u/informix 
           
          as the database installation location. 
           
          - Set the Informix environment variables: 
           
          INFORMIXDIR=/u/informix 
          export INFORMIXDIR 
           
          PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin 
          export PATH 
           
          - Edited roots and informix's .profile to add these 
          variables too their profiles. 
           
          - As root install the INFORMIX-4GL package as follows: 
           
          cd $INFORMIXDIR 
           
          copy the INFORMIX-4GL tar archive to this directory. For 
          the purposes of this example lets assume the archive is 
          called: 
           
          sco_4glrdsrun720ud1.tar 
           
          Extract the archive using: 
           
          tar xvf sco_4glrdsrun720ud1.tar 
           
          ./install4gprt 
           
          When prompted enter the INFORMIX serial number and key for 
          your product. This is supplied by Informix. 
           
          You should then see a message indicating that your product 
          has been successfully installed.
