Hi,
I've been trying to install IBM DB2 V7.1 on a pretty much clean installation
of Mandrake 7.1, and hitting a few problems.
Initially, the install (db2setup) failed because it couldn't find db2. I
manually added the /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/bin directory to the path, then re-ran
the installer. The log file is at
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~jcs97/db2setup.log
The latest thing I've tried is:
1) Installing the rpms using db2_install
2) Manually creating users for the db2, db2fenc and db2admin instances
3) Following the instructions in the "Quick Beginnings for Linux" guide to
set-up the instances
When I do this manually I get the same result as in the log file :-( :
SQL10007N Message "-1390" could not be retrieved. Reason code: "2".
According to the IBM docs, this indicates a problem with file permissions,
so I tried chown'ing the contents of the ~db2/sqllib directory to db2.db2.
This fixed the above error, but now I get a much more obscure one. When I
try to start the the instance (or the administration server) the "db2star2"
program hangs (have to kill -9).
IBM don't seem too forthcoming with their assistance, anyone here got any
ideas?
