That was the first page I went to. Will go back and give it another
try. I guess we need to compile the C the adapter our selves.
Thanks for responding.

Hello,
I have been trying to connect a Rails application to DB2 database.
Based on
information found on the web it doesn’t seem to be possible. Can some
confirm the state of DB2 support with Rails?
Hi David,
As of right now DB2 doesn’t work. Or at least doesn’t work without some
hacking and compromises.
The good news is it’s being worked on and great progress has been made.
There are a few people who
have run into these problems with DB2 but no one ever communicated that
information to the Rails
guys, or Maik Schmidt (the DB2 Adapter author) until I started whining
about it! 
Cheers,
John
Is there an update to the DB2 support options? There’s a DB2 database
that
I’d like to talk to.

DB2 has worked for me. There are some issues building under Win32 and
regardless you need to have installed db2cli interface (see the dbi
project on rubyforge). I also had issues until I switched to edge
rails.
The last remaining issue is the current adapter (as of a week or two
ago), was a little crude in handling different types so it is
important to do:
row = Table.find 1
and not
row = Table.find ‘1’
Good luck
