DB2 lite client must be installed on the machine to build the DBD export DB2_HOME to the install path of the lite client. IF this path is differenct the DBD-DB2Lite.spec file must change. export DB2_HOME=/db2client Download DBD-DB2-1.83.tar.gz from CPAN. (This was fixed to support lite client) cp DBD-DB2-1.83.tar.gz /opt/freeware/src/packages/SOURCES Use the DBD-DB2Lite.spec file in this directory cp DBD-DB2Lite.spec /opt/freeware/src/packages/SPECS Go to /opt/freeware/src/packages/SPECS and run "rpm -bb DBD-DB2Lite.spec", which creates: /opt/freeware/src/packages/RPMS/ppc/perl-DBD-DB2Lite-1-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
