How to install and configure DB2 32 bit client drivers for Build Forge
I have tried to install IBM DB2 database client drivers but according to Knwoledge center " Use the 32-bit drivers."
The system is : x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have tried but I receive and error " User Response: Install DB2 using the DB2 install image that corresponds with the current platform 'Linux/x86-64' " I just find 32 or 64 , not x86-64. This is the last step missing for completing my DB2 Setup for BF. Please help. Thanks |

I'm not sure why the DB2 installer works this way, but you can bypass this by calling the actual installer directly, that is client/db2/linux/installer/db2setup (assuming you have the "ia32" version of the DB2 client package). Note that many required 32 bit libraries are missing on 64 bit Linux as they are not installed by default. If the db2setup command fails to run, it will tell you which library is missing. Install it as appropriate. For example, on my RHEL 6.7 64 bit environment, I need to run the below command to install the missing libraries in order to launch db2setup (I already installed many other 32 bit libraries when previously installing other 32 bit applications).
yum install libaio.i686 pam.i686You can also use "ldd" to identify the missing 32 bit libraries and install them. Comments

Not quite sure what you mean "so quickly". Did you get to this screen at all?

No, I didn't see any screen at all. So I guess it didn't install the libaries. Installation begins but all suddendly "finishes" without any message.

Have you checked the content under "/appsdata/ibm/db2/V9.7"? If it's empty (not installed), you can try the command "db2setup -r <response file>", then check the log file for any errors.
