For us Installing Db2 same version onto Red Hat 9 is first time.
from the above and with the errors from your log file...

your problem is almost certain to be with the symbols (glibc). chances are that you will have to get a version compiled against RedHat 9
specifically ( from your log file ), one of these seems to be the executable ( binary ) causing the problem.
/usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/db2icrt -a CLIENT -u db2inst1 db2inst1
/usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/db2icknm
== Might I suggest a quick fix. ( not a fool proff method, more of a "hack" ) . Try at your own risk.
- I have never worked with DB2 and the error could be from elsewhere
1. Do an ldd ( "ldd" ) against these files as in:
"ldd db2icrt", "ldd db2icknm"
this would be the most important IMHO
"ldd /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/lib/libdb2.so.1"
this file seems to be linked against something specific in the libc of 7.2 which it is not finding in that of 9
See what files are missing (dependencies) and copy the reqd. files from redhat 7.2 into 9. that may do the trick.
_DO_ _NOT_ OVERWRITE ANY FILES OF REDHAT 9 though, otherwise you could end up with broken system. and definetly do _NOT_ touch the existing libc of RHL 9.
also in case any files are indeed missing, you may have to try out a few locations since, you may not be told where the files are expected to be found.
This is not certain to fix the issue but it just might be a way out. this is a "hack" and standard disclaimers apply here :-)
