Re: DBD::DB2 where to get a client library
Dan, Thanks for that. We've found FP12_MI00154_RTCL.tar. I have managed to install this on a brand new installed Redhat 9 (shrike) machine although it did not include the header files (I presume because it is RTCL - run time client and not application development client) not a problem since we have them on the server). However, this client needs glibc 2.3.2 and our target client machine is a machine built from scratch (not a main distribution), uses libc 2.2.4 and doesnot have rpm. What we have been able to do is: o download FP1_MI00046_RTCL.tar (which seems to be the oldest one we could find) o untar it o ran rpm2cpio on all the rpms it to get the opt/IBM structure o tar it up and copy to machine running old glibc which has no rpm o untar it in /opt o fix directory permissions (some are not rx for anyone) o create db2inst1 user o create instance o catalog remote server o connect via db2 command line util o connect via DBD::DB2 BUT, FP1 is really old now (2003 I think). What we'd really like is the most recent run time (application development) client which we can run with glibc 2.2.4 but to locate that using the method above would be a real pain.

I'd guess that you need to buy a licence for the client from IBM, and download the client library/executable.
