Thanks Karl.

The Linux box is running Ingres 11.1 whereas up until very recently our development box was running 10.2, which might explain it. 

Yes we have the lp32 directory - $II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib/lp32

We unset II_LP32_ENABLED by running iisusupp32 -rmpkg.

Colleagues managed to build the application, yay!

Next issue, key mapping.
