problems with RH9 and IBM DB/2 V 7.2 and V8.1

[Alex Sharaz <A Sharaz hull ac uk>]

Hi people,
Got a bit of a problem with IBM DB/2 and Redhat 9.0

I've been running Vsn 7.2 of DB/2 for quite some time on a RH 7.2 system.

unfortunately the system died and I decided to upgrade to RH 9.0

While everything else works the DB/2 database is certainly stuffed.

Whenever I try running any db/2 related commands I get:-

"db2:relocation error: /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/lib/libdb2.so.1:
symbol _res,version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time 
reference"

Any attempt to install version 8.1 and migrate databases also fail with the 
above error.

While I was planning to move my db/2 databases onto another platform, I do 
need to get access to  some stored procedures on the above system before I 
can do that.

Any suggestions as to how to get DB/2 running on the above platform

did think about setting a ld_library_path statement to point to a previous 
version of libc instead of this one .. would that be an idea?

TIA
alex
