So, now that you have found all of the missing libraries, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a path list that includes the locations of those libs and export it. So, something like:
and wherever else you need oninit to look for shared libraries.

I apologize for the length of this post. But I need to show that I am indeed trying to follow direction. Also, I researched & double-checked every assertion so that I don't waste your time with my errors. I've taken 2-1/2 hours to compose this missive.
Well, Paul, I told y'all about oninit -t and you promptly returned the favor with the ldd command, Quite revealing.
First, I change the syntax of my symlink. Now:
informix@maxwell2l:/ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib$ ls -l libisi.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 informix informix 42 Jul 4 11:02 libisi.so.2 -> /ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib/libisi_gsk.so.2.2
That is the full path name of the target library file. My first run of ldd; it looks quite like your output, Paul:
informix@maxwell2l:~$ ldd $(which oninit)
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff313d2000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f7b646ad000)

libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f7b6466e000)
libelf.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libelf.so.1 (0x00007f7b64650000)
libpam.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpam.so.0 (0x00007f7b6463c000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f7b64412000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f7b640e3000)

libaudit.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaudit.so.1 (0x00007f7b64097000)
libcap-ng.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcap-ng.so.0 (0x00007f7b6408f000)
Notice anything missing? I see no mention of the allegedly missing library, /ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib/libisi.so.2
That was mystery[1]. Perhaps, however, it is loaded at run time rather than being linked in at "ld" time. (Also, is there any significance to /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2?)
Now for mystery [2]: Another run o oninit -t.
informix@maxwell2l:/ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib$ oninit -t | head -2
cannot load library /ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib/libisi.so
libgsk8iccs_64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
HEY, a different error message! Now it finds the shared library but can't load it owing to another missing shared library.
Let's run ldd against our no-longer-missing shared library.
informix@maxwell2l:~$ ldd /ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib/libisi.so.2
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffb8881000)
libgsk8iccs_64.so => not found
libgsk8ssl_64.so => not found
libgsk8km_64.so => not found
libgsk8acmeidup_64.so => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f49d2bd8000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f49d3075000)
That's mystery[3]: YIKES!! I am SOOOO MESSED UP HERE! 4 files that it depends on are not found! And neither Synaptec package manager nor the Linux Mint software manager mention these gsk sources.
Now Scot asked another vital question:
> Did you look in /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64? Are the actual files there?
Let's have a look, after again running installgskit (yes, as root)
informix@maxwell2l:/ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib$ ls -ld /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 4096 Jul 4 11:49 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 211 Oct 8 2021 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/copyright
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 4096 Oct 8 2021 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/docs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 4096 Oct 8 2021 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/inc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 4096 Jul 4 11:49 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 5616 Oct 8 2021 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/ReadMe.txt
Peeking into the bin I have:
informix@maxwell2l:/ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib$ ls -ld /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin/*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 14954640 Oct 8 2021 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin/gsk8capicmd_64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 9792 Oct 8 2021 /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin/gsk8ver_64
Scot also mentioned a bunch of symlinks created by installgskit. I got'em too, I won't print there here; no reason they should be different from Scot's output. And I ran the target .so files through ls -l so I know all do exist. More interesting: Scot's output has 13 files; mine has 14; I also have: /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Now that we know how messed up my installation is, how do I unmess up? (unmess down?)
This reminds me of the dentist looking in my mouth and proclaiming "What a Challenge!".
Finally, Art's suggestion about LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Currently it's not set. What would you suggest I set it to?
WHEW!! Grateful for the help here!

Jacob,
Here's what my system shows:
$ cd /opt/ibm/informix/ids14.10.FC10DE/lib
$ ls -l libisi*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 informix informix 19 Mar 18 05:26 libisi.so.2 -> ./libisi_gsk.so.2.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root informix 142096 Mar 18 04:59 libisi_gsk.so.2.2

-rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 218024 Mar 18 05:26 libisi_oos.so.2.2
As Paul said it should be a symlink to one of the gskit libraries,
libisi_gsk.so.2.2 in this case.
Since you are on a Ubuntu/Debian based system, see if the gskit
packages were installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep 'gsk'
That's a lowercase 'L' flag. It should return something like
gskcrypt64 and gskssl64 with some version info. These should have
been installed during the Informix installation.
I'm on 64-bit Slackware and although it doesn't use RPM to manage
packages, since I had the rpm command installed, when I installed
Informix, it installed these two RPM packages automatically:
gskssl64-8.0-55.26.x86_64
gskcrypt64-8.0-55.26.x86_64
The files were installed under /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64.
Check if you have that directory. If so, gskit should be installed.
If not, you should have a directory "gskit" under your Informix
install location, e.g. /ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/gskit.
On my system here's what it contains:
$ pwd
/opt/ibm/informix/ids14.10.FC10DE/gskit
$ ls -l
total 20316
-rw-r--r-- 1 informix informix 2696 Mar 7 17:53 README
-rw-r--r-- 1 informix informix 3921920 Mar 7 17:51 gskcrypt64-8.0.55.26a.linux.x86_64.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 informix informix 16865280 Mar 7 17:51 gskssl64-8.0.55.26a.linux.x86_64.tar
-rwxr--r-- 1 root informix 6711 Mar 7 19:38 installgskit
You should be able to run the installgskit script as root.
If that does not work, you can extract .deb packages from each
of the tarballs and use "dpkg -i" to install them.

Greetings Art & Company.
There is a down side to actually having a job: I don't have a lot of time to finish installing my Informix stuff. (I'd rather have the job, of course; not the starving artist type. <grin>)
Well, I have installed it and created a reasonable (IMHO) ONCONFIG and SQLHOSTS file, as well as appropriate entries in /etc/services. I don't want to install the CSDK until I can at least run dbaccess and dbaccessdemo. I had downloaded release ids.14.10.FC10 on my Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu).
System info:
$ uname -a
Linux maxwell2l 5.15.0-75-generic #82-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 6 23:10:23 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And the latest run of oninit -t gives one error message:
$ oninit -t
cannot access /ifmx/ids.14.10.FC10/lib/libisi.so.2
No such file or directory (errno 2)
Look familiar on this thread?
This is an extremely long thread, even for me, who kids about my inability to be concise. I need a bottom line solution, which I cannot dig out of this thread. Someone tell me: "Jake do this and this..."
I should be able to get back on this over the July 4 holiday. Once I have that squared away I can install the CSDK, followed by Jonathan Leffler's DBD::Informix.
Thanks for comprehensible advice on this.
