DB2 Driver on RHEL 4 x86_64

[Costas]

Having some trouble getting the Ruby/DB2 Driver going on my x86_64
box...

FWIW, I'm using DB2 8.1, and have set DB2DIR=/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1 ; I'm
pretty sure the path is correct, and I'm installing as root.

I'm trying to install from ruby-db2-0.4.4

ruby setup.rb config
setup.rb:714: warning: don't put space before argument parentheses
entering config phase...
config done.

Runs perfectly. However it pukes when I run:

ruby setup.rb setup

setup.rb:714: warning: don't put space before argument parentheses
entering setup phase...
/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for SQLConnect() in -ldb2... no
ABORT: Could not locate DB2 libraries or headers!
Please set DB2DIR to your DB2 directory, e.g. /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1 (UNIX)
or C:/SQLLIB (Windows)
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

If anyone cares, I figured it out...

Apparently the installer doesn't look in DB2's lib64 directory. I
symlinked DB2's lib folder to lib64 and it installed fine.

I feel like suck a dunce for not seeing that. Thanks again for your
help.
