Re: install_driver(DB2) failed:

[Jonathan Leffler]

Do you have the DB2 client software installed too?  It probably doesn't
require just the DBD::DB2 driver library; it also requires the supporting
libraries from ... is it DB2 Connect?  And without those libraries, loading
the DBD::DB2 driver library fails (but because a supporting module couldn't
be found, not because the main DB2.dll module could not be found).

Basically, could you connect to DB2 without Perl from you machine?  If not,
neither can the Perl DBD::DB2 driver.  If so, have you set the environment
correctly so that Perl is picking up the DB2 libraries.

install_driver(DB2) failed:

[Harry Jamieson]

Hi.

I'm running XP SP3

Active Perl 5.14.2.1402

PPM 4.14

DBI 1.625

DBD::DB2 1.85

My connection -

 $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:DB2:Sort", "$ID", "$PW",
 {
RaiseError => 1,
PrintError => 1,
AutoCommit => 1,
     }
 ) or die $DBI::errstr;

fails with -

install_driver(DB2) failed: Can't load 'c:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/DB2/DB2.dll' 
for module DBD::DB2: load_file:The specified module could not be found at 
c:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 191.
 at (eval 6) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 6) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
 at HyperMail/Includes.pm line 74

but c:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/DB2/DB2.dll exists with today's date on it.  I 
have DB2_HOME set to C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\lib.  Does anyone know what 
I'm missing here?

Was able to run perl Makefile.pl and make for the DBD driver but failing 
when running make test with following:
