Try RedHat's support forums to see if anyone has the driver pre-packaged for you or something like that. hth, --lf > > Thanks, > > Walter > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express > Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take > control of your XML.
