Ruby, DB2 / 400, ibm_db causing "segmentation fault"
Ok, I'm new to Ruby and I'm trying to figure out how to connect to a DB2 database running on AS / 400 (iSeries, Power i, System i, whatever is calling at IBM today). Here are my features:
- OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
- Ruby: 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16) [i386-mingw32]
- ibm_db: 2.5.9 x86-mingw32
- CLI db2level (32-bit): DB2 v9.7.0.441
I am trying to find some simple documentation, but the IBM information is quite difficult to understand. I think I am at the point where I can start irb and type "require" mswin32 / ibm_db ", but when I get this error:
C:\clidriver\bin>irb
Welcome to IRB. You are using ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16) [i386-mingw32]. Have fun ;)

...a bunch of stuff, let me know if I should include it or not...

I haven't been able to find anything to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Pablo

As I said in my comment above, it turns out that the problem I was having is directly related to Ruby 1.9.3 and did not exist in Ruby 1.9.2. RubyForge discussion explaining the problem . The fix is not yet available.
