I would like to solve a differential equation. To find the solution of Xp (or y[x] in the below equation),I tried formulating the equation:
DSolve[J*y''[x] + y'[x] -c/y[x]==0 , y[x], x]
But, I really don’t get a solution.. Not sure what is wrong in the way I defined.. wonder if this could be checked here?

J is the unit quaterion. In general, stay away from capital letters to name your variables until you are more familiar with the MMA naming.

You try to DSolve[] nonlinear differential equation. The probability to obtain analytical
solution is very small. Try to solve it numerical with NDSolve[].
