Your compiler is too old. Switch to g++ >= 4.8.5 and it should work. That’s not specific to this module, by the way.

@brandonros We can not recompile libdb2.so.1. We install it by downloading it from here. It is compiled, packaged and uploaded by IBM Build team here: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21385217 You can download IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI (CLI Driver) from above link, untar and verify db2level command is working for you or not after adding clidriver\bin and clidriver\lib directory to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variables. If using this driver, db2level works for you, you can export IBM_DB_HOME=<clidriver_path> and then npm install ibm_db. If IBM_DB_HOME is set, ibm_db do not download clidriver but use the existing one. If neither IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI (CLI Driver) nor IBM Data Server Driver Package (DS Driver) works in your system after download, ibm_db would not work. You may contact IBM Support if these downloaded drivers do not work in your system. Thanks.
