Is your Ruby 32 or 64 bit (i.e. what does (2**32).class return)?  Was
the underlying DB2 library built as 32 or 64 bit?

My initial guess is that you're trying to link a 64 bit Ruby against a
32 bit DB2 or vice-versa.

Try compiling the following program with "gcc -m64 -ldb2 -o foo foo.c"
and "gcc -m32 -ldb2 -o foo foo.c" and see what happens:

/* foo.c */
int main(){ return 0; }
