    Hi,

    When we try to install package Informix 12.10 for "Mac OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" on a Mac OS "Big Sur" the "ids_install.app" is "forbidden".

    Trying "./ids_install -i console" doesn't work ..

    Can somebody help ?

    Thank in advance

    Regards

    As far as I know it wouldn't work there anyway since use of /INFORMIXTMP no longer would be possible.

    (We might actually be waiting on someone wanting this problem to be solved, one way or another.)

    Hello Garcia,

    you should change some OS setting to allow installation:

    a) change kernel parameters following instructions in machine notes - for some MacOS can report there are invalid values
    b) solve problem with /INFORMIXTMP dir as Catalina and higher restricts access to system folders and / is readonly and it must be avoided via config in /etc/synthetic.conf - see for more details
    https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2020/01/18/creating-root-level-directories-and-symbolic-links-on-macos-catalina/
    you create directory, for example
    mkdir /Users/<some_path>/INFORMIXTMP
    chmod 777 /Users/<some_path>/INFORMIXTMP
    then you should put the following row in /etc/synthetic.conf file:
    INFORMIXTMP<tab - mandatory not space!>Users/<some_path>/INFORMIXTMP

    then try install Informix
