Hello Christopher, Thank you so much for responding to my email. Yes, I have read and followed the instructions. I have read the instruction from PECL and from IBM. I have read and followed all the README files from all the downloads. There just seems to be something "missing" from the PHP 7.2 installation. I have a laptop running Debian 8 (Jessie) with PHP 5, and the PECL install works perfectly. No problem on the download or compile. And we get the ibm_db2.so shared object file in the PHP Extension directory (2013126). On PHP 7.2 the PECL download get a cross-compile error indicating a platform inconsistency. So, for the manual compile we added --host=amd64 and that got us passed the cross-compile error. But then the compiler complained about not finding the include directory for the header files. I was unable to concatenate the include directory on the IBM_DB2_HOME system variable, so we just copied the include directory to the lib (IBM CLI) directory. Finally we got a clean compile, but no ibm_db2.so file. If we could figure out how to generate the .so file from the Make file, I think we would be home free. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Christoph M.

We are trying to install the IBM DB2 driver on Ubuntu 18.04 with PHP 7.2. We have attempted to install the PECL package but it fails. We have download the IBM Server Driver package but it does not contain the ibm_db2.so file. We have download the source from PECL and done a manual compile. And while we have successfully compiled the code after considerable difficulties, it does not produce the ibm_db2.so file. It does produce libibm_db2.a, however. > > Has anyone successfully created the ibm_db2.so file for PHP 7.2? Have you read the installation instructions[1]? Would they work, or is that info out-dated?
