Running IBM DB2 Client V8.1 under FreeBSD

[Ulrich Spoerlein]

Hi,

did anyone accomplish this feat? I have a DB/2 Client installation
copied over to a FreeBSD 6.3 system and while the db2(1) binary
starts, it runs into an endless loop.

 89938 db2      RET   getdomainname 0
 89938 db2      CALL  open(0xbfbfc7e8,0x801,0)
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/compat/linux/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      RET   open JUSTRETURN
 89938 db2      CALL  getdomainname(0xbfbfc930,0xbfbfc938)
 89938 db2      RET   getdomainname 0
 89938 db2      CALL  open(0xbfbfc7e8,0x801,0)
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/compat/linux/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      RET   open JUSTRETURN
 89938 db2      CALL  getdomainname(0xbfbfc930,0xbfbfc938)
 89938 db2      RET   getdomainname 0
 89938 db2      CALL  open(0xbfbfc7e8,0x801,0)
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/compat/linux/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      RET   open JUSTRETURN
 89938 db2      CALL  getdomainname(0xbfbfc930,0xbfbfc938)
 89938 db2      RET   getdomainname 0
 89938 db2      CALL  open(0xbfbfc7e8,0x801,0)
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/compat/linux/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      RET   open JUSTRETURN
 89938 db2      CALL  getdomainname(0xbfbfc930,0xbfbfc938)
 89938 db2      RET   getdomainname 0
 89938 db2      CALL  open(0xbfbfc7e8,0x801,0)
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/compat/linux/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      NAMI  "/home/dtinst/sqllib/tmp/R1116180A8942"
 89938 db2      RET   open JUSTRETURN
 89938 db2      CALL  getdomainname(0xbfbfc930,0xbfbfc938)

Google seems to be suspiciously silent about DB2 on FreeBSD.

Ciao,
