How to fix this error?

Adjust the SAP programs (in directory
'usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run') to the (recommended) attributes
specified below. You can change 'incorrect' program attributes with
the usual operating system commands ('chown',
'chgrp' and 'chmod') (possibly as user 'root').
Programs 'infcatlgr', 'infstart', 'infstop', 'infaccess' and
'infstatus' should have owner 'root', group 'sapsys' and
access authorization '4754'. Programs 'sapdba',
'infcfgcheck', 'arcauto', 'arcevent', 'archive_control',
'arcpanic', 'arcprep', 'arcstop', 'arcvolum', 'backup_control' and
'infarcexe' should have owner and group 'informix' and access
authorization '6755'.
(CAUITON: You might be missing one or another of these programs since
you are using an older SAP Release.)
