Maybe you missed a prerequisite, perhaps.... The files it is complaining about are part of the DB2 development kit. A couple of suggestions come to mind. First make sure the account you are using the build DBD:DB2 is configured to access the database. Note, this means if you su to root (possibly even if you use sudo), then root must be able to see the database. Whatever the account you use, it should have an sqllib directory in the account home directory (usually this is a container for a bunch of links to the INSTANCE account home directory sqllib tree, which is often links to the actual installed area: typically something like /usr/IBMdb2/V7.2/...). There should also be an environment configured with the DB2INSTANCE and DB2PATH variables set and maybe some other DB2... variables, depends on what's installed. There is are IBM-supplied scripts to set up the environments correctly: . INSTHOME/sqllib/db2profile (for Bash, Bourne or Korn shell) source INSTHOME/sqllib/db2cshrc (for C shell) Most of this is documented in extremely tedious detail in the "DB2 Quick Beginnings for Linux" manual that IBM supplies. You may want to browse around there and see what I've forgotten. If the account appears to be set up to access the database and actually build and link DB2 executables, then it is possible that the development libraries were not installed, so the compiler can't see the necessary ".h" files because they are in fact not there. If that proves to be the case, see your friendly system admin to correct that omission. Hope this is helpful. Stephen Keller
