installing DBD-Informix on fedora 6


hi,

i am having some problems installing DBD-Informix-2005.02 on fedora6.
i get stuck at "perl rmautoinst.pl Makefile.PL | perl -" when the esqltest program tries to
contact my stores database and times out.

but i'm pretty sure i am following the right steps as it works fine on other versions of fedora, and i can even telnet to the db server on port 1526 from the fedora6 server, and i have added it to the .rhosts file on the db server.

can anyone provide some insight?

this is what I do on fedora 4

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBI'
groupadd -g 300 informix
useradd -u 200 -g 300 informix
source /etc/profile.d/informix.sh - see below for this files content
vi /etc/services - i add "sqlexec 1526/tcp informix" at the bottom
mkdir /opt/informix
chown informix.informix /opt/informix/
cd /opt/informix/
tar xvf clientsdk.2.90.UC2.LINUX.tar
cd clientsdk.2.90.UC2.LINUX.tar
../install_rpm
cd
tar xvzf DBD-Informix-2005.02.tar.gz
cp /opt/informix/etc/sqlhosts.std /opt/informix/etc/sqlhosts
vi /opt/informix/etc/sqlhosts - i add the db server here
perl rmautoinst.pl Makefile.PL | perl -
make
make install


any help would be appreciated, thanks
