Perl DBD::DB2 connect error

[roxrox_1959]

I'm attempting to connect to a DB2 database using DBD::DB2 running on
a Linux device. I'm getting the following error:

** connect: Unable to get database handle: DBI
connect('p88flaq','ip88flaq',...) failed: [IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1042C
An unexpected system error occurred. SQLSTATE=58004
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Oasis2/DBConn.pm line 2155

I've installed the DB2 client for the user in question:

../db2icrt -a SERVER_ENCRYPT -s client -w32 orbit

The user CAN connect using the db2 command line interface.

I know (think!) that I need to install the 'Developers Toolkit' but I
can't find any reference as to how to install this.

I have another account on the same device that CAN connect usiing
DBD::DB2 but I can't remember what I did to get this user working.
The DB2 DBA that we had up and quit and didn't leave behind many
notes :-(

Any help would be appreciated!

on the two accounts, type the following commands and see if they are
pointing to two different installations of db2:

db2level

also check if the perl and db2 dbi module are installed on the system
as a whole or is custom for the user which is capable of running it.

Thanks,

The perl is installed so that everyone has access.

The db2level shows that the user that 'works' has 64 bit vs 32 bit for
the user that doesn't 'work'. I'll see if I can fix that.

BINGO!

I reinstalled the client with the following command:

../opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/instance/db2icrt -a SERVER_ENCRYPT -s client -w 64
appit

After I registered the database I could connect.

Many thanks!!!
