Subject: "relocation error" problem using DB2 extension

Hello,

i'm new to Ruby, but i have plenty of experience with Perl, C and Perl
extensions. I'm trying to set up the ruby-db2 extension (DB2CLI) on
ruby 1.6.7, RedHat 7.1 Linux.

After a little bit of manipulation in the generated Makefile (to make
it look for include files in $DB2DIR/include), i got everything to
compile and install. But, when i try to run the test samples, i get:

ruby: relocation error:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i686-linux/db2/db2cli.so: undefined
symbol: SQLAllocHandle

I checked to make sure the directory with the DB2 shared libraries
*is* included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

I'd appreciate any ideas on what's causing this error and how to fix
it.

Thank you very much.
