Hello… I’m new to ruby, but love the style that things are done. 
I’ve programmed before but never with anything involving databases, so
I’m a bit lost on what do to with this. Basically, I’m trying to pass a
query to a db2 database and then have it return the results. I am unable
to do this however. Every time I run my script it says, “ruby.exe -
System error The program can’t start because DB2CLI.dll is missing from
your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.” I’ve
followed the instructions for installing the gems I needed based on what
I’ve seen on the net, but I really have no clue where to start on this.
My reason for creating the application is to query and print out
information on a user from 4 different servers.
After commenting out the code involving db2, I seem to be getting errors
with really ANY “required” gem though. For instance, using highline to
block out password works fine in irb and works fine if I call it like
“ruby -r rubygems UserInfo.db” but it doesn’t work if I just run it
through aptana. Is my installation of ruby/aptana/git/etc… broken, or
is this just some stupid novice mistake I’ve made. ^^;;
Here is the code and also the os/ruby version.

I’m sure you’ll find a lot of mistakes in what I’m doing. ^^;; But this
is one of those things that is stupidly long to do manually when it
could be done pragmatically… I’m a help desk person and the programmers
have higher priority things to achieve. ^^;;;
