problem with installing db2v8 and db2v7 on the same server

dlafreni · #1 (**permalink**) 10-14-03, 15:25

I have db2 v7 fp9 on aix 4.3 and I am tryin to install db2 v8, and have both at the same time. But when I try to execute the db2v8 command I get errors refering to the /usr/lib/libdb2.a ... it is a soft link pointing at the v7 libraries:

libdb2.a -> /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/lib/libdb2.a

I can I manage this ? e.i. have my db2v8 use a different libdb2.a ...

Thanks!

Remove symbolic links created by v7 (you need them only if you are lazy to specify import libraries in LIBPATH for compilation)
/usr/lpp/db2_07_01/cfg/db2rmln

We have v7 fixpack 6 and v8 fixpack 3 on a couple of boxes (AIX 5.1 and 5.2). No problems so far.
