I am not sure if after getting a reply to the question one should still
reply to the mailing list or reply to the *person directly*. If I have
committed a mistake kindly oblige as this is new to me.
After posting the question I just *searched* and then came to know that
while installing db2, it had created 3 users named *db2inst1*,
*db2fenc1*and one more
*administrative user* whose name i am not able to recollect and then saw *db2
cli include files* in *db2inst1's home* when i logged onto the system as a
db2inst1 user and tried to copy those files to /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5 (which is
where db2 database is installed)  but  gave me an error saying that I cannot
copy.
I also changed the permissions and even then could not copy.
So does this mean i have to complie the extension by logging in as db2inst1
and cant this be as root or what should I do to continue further.

With Regards,
