I'm trying to install DB2 Express C v9.7 on my PC with Fedora 12. I downloaded db2exc_971_LNX_x86.tar.gz and ran the DB2 Setup Wizard and got all the way through the installation. Then I ran the "db2val" command and got the DBI1379I error, as below.
This says I'm missing files or files are wrong size. Then it says to re-install the Product from the installation media ( I don't know if this means from the DB2 Setup Installation). Well I tried it through the command line and it says "A fix pack installation is not permitted on "DB2 Express-C".

Could someone please help me? I need to know how to Re-install the products by running the following command from the installation media, installFixPack -f level.

Thank you.

User response:

Perform one of the following actions:

1. Re-install the products by running the following command from the
installation media, installFixPack -f level. Rerun the db2val
command.
2. For root installations, run
<DB2-installation-path>/install/db2chgpath as root. For non-root

What do you get if you run "db2val -o"?

You cannot apply a fixpack to DB2 Express-C. If you still have problems, you will have to uninstall and try again.

After all that, I ran "db2val" again and it's successful. I haven't changed anything!
How weird is that? Ah, I think I know what happened...I ran the original "db2val" logged in as "db2inst1" and not "root". Thank you for your response and help.
