Hi,

I’m new to Ruby and i was trying to install the “ruby-db2-0.4” package  
and i’m getting the below error. Can any one please guide me. I folled  
the instructions as per the Readme. I’m using DB2 V 8.1.4. I have  
installed DB2 CLI. Also i have set the path to poing to  
DB2DIR=C:\Progra~1\IBM\SQLLIB, but when i run “ruby setup.rb setup” i  
get the below error.

entering setup phase…  
c:/ruby/bin/ruby extconf.rb  
checking for SQLConnect() in db2cli.lib… 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:/SQLL  
IB (Windows)  
setup failed  
‘system c:/ruby/bin/ruby extconf.rb’ failed  
try “ruby setup.rb --help” for usage

Thanks for your help  
Dinesh
