Hurray, solved the issue ........
While installing I had included the '-c' option , well well , it was not required. ( don't ask me,why I included it :0) )
Now don't you push the BIG RED button. Hehe ......
The installation now went without a hitch...
Tausend Dank! Andreas,
Thanks Mike, Sunil and all ... Wooo hooooo....
regards,
Allen
I now resume working.Glory is short lived.

Mike,
Did you install IDS 9.4 without a hitch or did you face any problem?
I got the following error, which makes me wonder am I the only one facing this problem?

While trying to install by running the following command
$installserver -c /opt/informix
.....
