Hi,
The `mktemp', `__ctype_b', `__ctype_toupper' errors that you seem
to be getting, were all resolved in the last release of 4GL on Linux -
version 7.32.xC2. Please use passport advantage to download the latest
version.
If you still have support, you should be able to ask for patches
from Tech Support, if upgrading to the latest version is an issue ( though
I would not entirely recommend a patch). An upgrade would be a better
option.

Thanks and Regards,
Abhi.

I know that, but nor does 4js.

Anyway lets give some more detail here:

Thanks.
What I have is this:
A dual processor running kernel 2.6.5-7.95-smp (2xPIII tualatin
1,13Ghz 2GBRam) 4gl 7.30-UC5 (Can't afford to upgrade to a new
version) Gcc 3.3.3.41 (Everything related to gcc has this version)
Glibc 2.3.3-97 Glibc-devel 2.3.3-97 Glibc-info 2.3.3-98 ( as has
_i18ndata and _locale and _profile)

When *not* changing any kernel related environment variables and
compiling to either object or runable the error is:
/opt/informix/lib/tools/i4glc3: relocation error:
/opt/informix/lib/tools/i4glc3: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not
defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

When setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.21 ( or 2.4.1 or 2.2.5) the
compiling to OBJECT goes fine, but compiling to runable gives these
errors:


The following errors were discovered during compilation.

/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: warning: the use of `mktemp' is
dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: undefined reference to
`__ctype_b'
/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: undefined reference to
`__ctype_toupper'
/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: undefined reference to
`__ctype_tolower'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: warning: the use of `mktemp' is
dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: undefined reference to
`__ctype_b'
/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: undefined reference to
`__ctype_toupper'
/opt/informix/lib/tools/lib4gsh730.so: undefined reference to
`__ctype_tolower'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


So it SEEMS to be a link problem, but actually setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(in all kinds of different version) doesn't help.

I got a mail from someone telling me they were able to compile and run
on SuSE 9.1 (kernel 2.6.4-52-default, glibc-2.3.3-97, gcc-3.3.3-41)
without problems. The binary looks working also.
BUT with 4gl 7.32.UC2

Hope anyone can shed some light here.
