I tried installing compat-db-4.0.14-5.ia64.rpm 
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128.ia64.rpm compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.128.ia64.rpm 
compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.6.ia64.rpm 
compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128.ia64.rpm 
compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.128.ia64.rpm db2-2.4.14-9.ia64.rpm

but they didn't seem to help.

However, with just the x86-compat-libs intalled, the following

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/emul/ia32-linux/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

seems to fix the problem for the time being (thanks to Ayad Jassim)
I am happy to just insert this into my startup scripts, unless anyone has 
any better ideas?
