I want to install the php-extenstion ibm_db2.so with the following command :
pecl install ibm_db2
During the installation, pecl asks for the DB2 Installation Directory. I already used this command on an other server where an db2 is installed, so there was no problem, giving him the db2 directory.
But now I need to install the extension on a server without a local installed db2. There is a website intended to run on this server with a connection to the database-server, so I need the php-commands provided by the ibm_db2.so.
Pecl still wants an installation directory. But, as I mentionend, the db2 resides on an other server.
Is it crucial to have the db2 on the same server? Or do I just use an incorrect command for installing?
If I leave the field empty and just press enter, the installation fails.
