I am trying to install DB2 9.7 on RHEL 5.6 on Intel

The install dies in the middle and throws a javadump, that dump shows the following error:

The prereq files say all presreqs are satisfied

The Db2 isntall does not come with a separate java program, it uses the default java on the system

The default java is 1.4.2

Is this possible a java issue

What version of java is required for DB2 9.7 on RHEL 5.6 on Intel

Thanks

try installing using db2_install

Is there any other options, I do not understand how to create the instance, users, etc

I read the prereqs,:

IBM DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX and Windows Information Center

And they do not mention a required level of java

Also require RHEL 5.2 or later, I am using 5.6

Not sure about javadump. I've seen some when installing DB2 v9.7 on AIX Power7, but it was different. Possibly someone else can suggest another option.


Creating users/groups and instance should not be too difficult.

Create users/groups:
IBM DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX and Windows Information Center


Create instance:
IBM DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX and Windows Information Center
