Re: DBD::Informix Build Error On 64bit AIX 5.2

Dear Darryl,

Please note the corrected email address (dbd.informix@xxxxxxxxx) for
reporting problems.

Please can you send me the CORE/perl.h file where the problem starts (I
suggest this stays off the dbi-users list simply because most people won't
need it). I've had someone else with faintly similar problems - and need to
get to the bottom of what's up. I'm currently suspecting that something that
is in some CSDK or DBD::Informix header is clashing horribly but silently
with something in the Perl core - but that's a conjecture rather than
anything better.

One possibility, on AIX, is that the _H_LOCALEDEF in the DBD::Informix
command line is screwing up something that Perl itself is relying on. If you
remove it, you'll run into different errors - related to loc_t - but the
change of message would indicate that we're onto something. And, if this is
the issue, it is going to be hell to fix properly. We'll bodge our way
around it without too much difficulty, but the proper fix...that's well over
a decade overdue (IDS/CSDK should not use loc_t for locators - it should use
a systematic Informix-specific prefix such as ifx_loc_t if it must go with
an _t suffix; the _t suffix is reserved to the implementation, and this is
merely the oldest of the clashes that we've ever had with systems over the
naming convention.)
