Well, first of all, I am doing this on 390(31 bit) not 390x(64 bit) as my very first email stated. I've been installing both distro's (390 and 390x) lately and I got confused as to which one I was working on. So . . in the beginning . . . After some googleing, I found a tutorial on the IBM developworks website for installing the Perl interface(s). It's a free download but you have to register to do the down load. I already had Perl installed. I followed the steps in it, however, the tutorial is a little dated. BTW, I'm using Centos 4.2. I went to the Centos RPM directory on my pc and there is a perl-DBI-1.40-8.s390.rpm, which I loaded to Linux. I installed it. I don't remember exactly where I had the library problem but I ended up also installing compat-glibc-headers.etc and compat-glibc-2.3.2.etc These were also in the Centos rpm directory on my pc(which I uploaded to linux). I also had to install the DB2 Application Development Client. This is shipped with/on the DB2 cd and is an option you can select at DB2 install time or come back later and install it. Next step was to get DBD. I found the link for this on linuxvm.org. The link took me to the IBM webpage with a link to down load it and the instructions on how to install it. I downloaded it and untared. There are a couple of "readme" type files that I read first. I then issued the commands shown on the ibm web page. I set the DB2_HOME environment variable and then issued the command to install the DBI module. That went ok. The next step was to install the DBD::DB2 module. I issued the command shown and it did not complete cleanly. After doing some research it seems that the command shown does some checking but it also issues the perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, and make install commands. I issued the perl Makefile.PL and the make command and those completed cleanly. When I issue the make test command I get the message that it can't find a particular file. As mentioned in a previous email, I checked to be sure the file, DB2.so was in the proper directory. It was. I checked a few other things like permission's and file locations, etc., and all of those seemed ok. I can't figure out why it is giving the errors.

That being said, do you want a step by step process (I'll leave out the each keystroke <g>) or just a generalized list of steps. Steve G.
