    Needed to manually create /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot in order to start DB2. Contents that finally worked:

    kern.sysv.shmmax=1073741824
kern.sysv.shmmin=1
kern.sysv.shmmni=512
kern.sysv.shmseg=128
kern.sysv.shmall=268435456

    So far, so good.

    Amazing news!

    congratulations

    What about a solid ODBC driver for the mac? Not talking about the OpenLink Software crap.
