Do you now have both python 1.5.1 and python1.5.2 installed?

informixdb might be getting confused about which Python
version/libraries it should be using. I'm not sure how to
determine whether that's the problem, but I know that others
have had problems with various packages when they have two
versions of Python installed at the same time.
Have you tried recompiling informixdb with the 1.5.2 header files?
I don't think that too much has changed between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2, but
it couldn't hurt to try.
