  • 1.  Informix Language Supplement" (ILS) 3.50.MC7

    Posted Thu May 08, 2025 09:59 AM

    Hello,

    I am new to informix community. I installed Informix 12.10 and 14.10 on a few machines. Working it out slowly.

    I hit a problem on Linux(both Ubuntu 22.04 and RedHat 7.9), Informix 12.10.

    I am trying to get support  for  bg_bg.8859-5. On Windows 2016 all works like charm and setting these in the client:

    set CLIENT_LOCALE=BG_BG.8859-5
    set DB_LOCALE=BG_BG.8859-5
    set DBDATE=dmy4.
    mode con codepage select=1251

    I copied a few files in informix\gls\lc11

    However if server is on Linux I get:

    -23101 Unable to load locale categories.

    Based on my research I found that I need Informix Language Supplement" (ILS) 3.50.MC7

    [root@dbrh7 informix]# ./install
     /opt/informix/msg/en_us/ISO_8859-1 is not present
    [root@dbrh7 informix]# dbaccess
    -23101 Unable to load locale categories.
    [root@rtco-dbrh7 informix]# ls /opt/informix/msg/en_us/ISO_8859-1
    ls: cannot access /opt/informix/msg/en_us/ISO_8859-1: No such file or directory

    Looks like this pack is not good for my 12.10 fresh install ?

    Peter,

    Do you use upper case locales in Linux? Looks like the matter is that Linux (as well as UNIX) is case-sensitive, unlike Windows.
