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.

Hi Martin:
You'll need the Application Development Client, which is a free
download from http://ibm.com/db2/udb/support/downloadv8.html.
The clients are installed as RPMs on Linux using the db2setup program
(part of the client); you might want to check out the DB2 HOWTO
(http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DB2-HOWTO/index.html) for a general
understanding of the underlying dependencies. Or post here on what
your system is and what problems you're encountering.

I'm posting this on behalf of a colleague who is struggling to
get DBD::DB2 working on a machine remote to the DB2 database.
We have DB2 installed and DBD::DB2 working on that machine
but where can we download only the DB2 client (or whatever
DBD::DB2 needs) to use DBD::DB2 to connect to a remote DB2
database on Linux? So far all we've found is an RPM with
some dependency-hell and this is not a redhat system.
Thanks.
Martin
