IBM DB2 manual Installation procedure for Linux and Unix

If you are using some other Perl distribution on Windows, you have to install DBI manually. Download and uncompress the latest DBI from:

http://search.cpan.org/author/TIMB/DBI/

Example 4-40shows how to install DBI for Windows for Perl distribution other than ActiveState. The example assumes that you have uncompressed the compressed file into a directory and you are currently in that directory.

Example 4-40 Installing DBI for Windows for Perl distribution other than ActiveState

perl Makefile.PL nmake

nmake test nmake install

Note: You might have to use dmake instead of nmake depending on the Perl you are using. Refer to your Perl manual for more information.

￿IBM Data Server Driver for CLI support:

All Perl interfaces communicate to DB2 using CLI. You require IBM Data Server Client to use the driver on Linux and UNIX. For Windows systems, you can use IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI or IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET. Both are described in detail in 4.1.2, “IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET, and IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI” on page 143.

Installation procedure for Linux and UNIX

To install DBD::DB2, download the source from:

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/I/IB/IBMTORDB2/DBD-DB2-1.1.tar.gz

Uncompress the file in a directory. IBM Data Server Client is required to install it. Example 4-41shows the installation steps. The example assumes that DB2_HOME is /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5.

Example 4-41 Installation commands for installing DBD::DB2

export DB2_HOME=/opt/ibm/db2/V9.5 perl Makefile.PL

make make test make install
