I'm getting the esql[952]: cc: not found. error on AIX
when trying to compile any *.ec program.
Did a hello world and it gets the error

Anyone have any ideas why or how to fix.

Thanks,
Dave

Two possibilities:

1) You don't have a C compiler.

2) You have a C compiler, but it's not called "cc".

Solution to 1: Install a C compiler.

Solution to 2: Set the INFORMIXC environment variable to the correct
name of your C compiler.

Oh, now that was the answer to that question.
Now, I'm getting "gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command
line".
And gcc is there an compiles the hello.c program just fine.

You are using GNU C (gcc) on AIX, but the esql script is passing
arguments that are for the native AIX C compiler, xlc (which is usually
installed with a link to it named cc for compatibility). Make a copy of
$INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql and modify it to remove the -b option it's
passing to $(CC). Then either put the new script earlier in your path
or rename esql and replace it with your modified one.
