Some notes for the installation of IBM DB2 v7.1 on Debian Woody Holger Marzen, 2003-08-21
install pdksh - apt-get install pdksh - cd /bin - ln -s /usr/bin/ksh . install rpm - apt-get install rpm - mkdir /var/lib/rpm - rpm --initdb Without "mkdir /var/lib/rpm" rpm will complain about errors with db3-access. Very confusing. - Create /bin/rpm by a executable shell script that inserts "--nodeps" after(!) "-ivh" that's used by the db2 installer. Else we can't install because of the missing rpm-dependencies. #!/bin/sh ARGS=`echo "$*" | sed 's/-ivh /-ivh --nodeps /'` /usr/bin/rpm $ARGS - make the usual symlinks for "incompatible" RedHat-software: cd /usr/lib ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so.4 ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 Now you should be able to mount the db2 installation media and run ./db2setup. To run the control center (db2cc) you have to install java (I used the recent sdk from Sun), make the appropriate symlink /usr/bin/java (on my machine /usr/bin/java -> /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java). Then fix the broken installtion by doing a "ln -s /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/cc ." in /home/db2inst1/sqllib. Now we only have to change the shell script /home/db2inst1/sqllib/bin/db2cc and delete "-nojit" from the JRE_OPTIONS variable (recent java comlains) and replace "jre $JRE_OPTIONS -cp $JRE_CLASSPATH CC $@" by "java $JRE_OPTIONS -cp $JRE_CLASSPATH CC $@".
