What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
on Windows XP,  I have Python 2.7, and DB2 9.5 installed.   I'm trying to 
install ibm_db_sa 

ibm_db_sa-0.1.6-py2.5.egg

Please provide any additional information belowIt 
From the error message, it looks like the "C" compiler is being invoked.  I did 
not know that a "C" compiler was a prereq for installing this package

For window we only release binary of ibm_db driver for python-2.5 and 2.6.
Your python version is 2.7 so, it will first compile. For compilation it 
require "c" compiler.
In attachment i am providing you the binary of ibm_db driver for python 2.7.
you needs to issue following command to install

> easy_install path/of/ibm_db egg file/ibm_db-1.0.3-py2.7-win32.egg

Once you finish with driver installation then issue following command to 
install ibm_db_sa

> easy_install ibm_db_sa

This worked.   I can now continue with the django configuration.

Thanks for your help.

I'm now wondering if the django / python  package will have a similar problem.  
 Will it run under python 2.7 ?    I have installed the 
ibm_db_django-1.0.1.win32.exe
