AW: 686 optimized libc6

["Yildiz, Murat" <murat.yildiz@atosorigin.com>]

Nope you bet wrong :) It's Informix 9.4 ported on a redhat system with glibc
2.2.4 686 optimized I think.
I know about pg and mysql , but now I need to run Informix.
I have searched the Debian doku but couldn't find how to do it with apt-get
source and the editing the Makefile  and so on ....

Thx

Why do you think that?  Conventional wisdom is that, with a couple of
exceptions (notably computationally intensive applications like linear
algebra and cryptography libraries), processor-specific optimizations
don't gain you a whole lot.  I certainly can't see a particular piece
of software having a hard dependency on a glibc compiled for a very
specific architecture, given the variety of Linux distributions out
there.

There are also perfectly good database servers in Debian that you can
install using the normal packaging tools (like PostgreSQL and MySQL).
I bet you really mean "Oracle", though; you might try applying Google
to the problem, since I think other people have tried to do this
before.
