The core dump occurs in routines called from setbuf() inside fgl_init().

Some people have reported success with this; I can't.
Some people have installed the compatability compiler and libraries
(look for compat* RPM files on the main CD-ROM) and hacked c4gl and
cfglgo to make it use the compatability mode compiler, and have then
reported success.

"Compatibility" meaning compatibility with Red Hat 5.2, which is the
version the 7.24 tools were ported on.

If problems persist even with the compat libraries and gcc, make
sure a lack of the -fwritable-strings flag isn't the culprit.

Dunno about that, but it worked a treat. Thanks Jonathan.

I'm assuming that my problem in running 4gls on Red Hat 6.0 is similar to this one.

We ran gdb test.4ge core today and the program bombed complaining about iosetbuffer.c

I installed Informix-se 7.2 on a PC running red hat linux. I am able to
create and access databases using dbaccess, dbschema and i4gl. They all
run fine. However, I get core dump when I run chkenv. I also get core
dump when I run 4gl programs compiled using c4gl or i4gl. Any idea why?
and how can I resolve this problem?

Also, I used to compile 4gl programs using fglpc and run them using
fglgo. I don't see these two programs in the Linux installation?

Thanks for your time and help.

Fglpc and fglgo are part of the 4GL Rapid Development System (RDS) which
is not ported to Linux. You have the compiled version of 4GL which
produces native executables so you do not need a runner like fglgo. You
may have library version problems or compiler problems depending on what
release/distribution of Linux you have. There are problems with using
libc5 and certain egcs versions. Research previous posts on the IIUG Web
site if Jonathan Leffler does not answer right away. This has been dealt
with before.

Gee Art, my RDS seems to be working okay on Linux (RH6.0 RDS 7.20.UD7)
