<pre wrap="">Sorry to be a pain but I'd really like PyDB2 (DB2 client for python).
IBM only seem to offer the source which won't compile without a copy of
DB2. I only need it to extract some info from a customer site so I don't
really want to have to get DB2.

Not a direct answer but, maybe install:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/im/udbexp/">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/im/udbexp/</a>
and try to compile again.
No idea if it will work though...</pre>

Similar problems with Oracle. Couldn't connect using the Python
client without Oracle actually being installed. Nice waste of
drive space that.</font> Both companies should sponsor 'a major
North American linux distributor' to package their products
properly. <br>
