Have you actually created a DB2 instance? That is necessary in order to
work with DB2. An instance is basically a Linux user and that user will be
the DB2 system administrator. When an instance is created, a
directory "sqllib" is created in the user's HOME directory. There is also
a sqllib/db2profile which should be sourced in your .bashrc.

You should re-run the install and follow the default - unless you really
know what you are doing and why you want to deviate from the default.
