Thomas,

You should get better / immediate help for such kind of issue by contacting our support channel.

It appears that you are using a 64b version of FGL, are you sure you point to a 64b version of Informix client?

Please try following:

$ ldd -r /fitrix/fourjs_dev/dbdrivers/dbmifx9x.so

That particular error message "-6366: Could not load database driver dbmdefault" is one of the more common ones I see, normally in the context of an Application Server where the as.xcf does not have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to include the database libraries.

What makes it not simple to solve is that the error message leads people to look at the environment and try and figure what is not set to that dbmdefault is read.  In actual fact dbmdefault is typically found OK and in turn dbmdefault is trying to load a database library that is not in the environment and then it errors with that message.

If you have strace, use that to try and determine what file it can't load.
