Operation not permitted error while unzipping ibm db2exec

[sandeepgr]

Hi,

I want to install ibm db2 express c in my linux mint 7 system. I downloaded the tar.gz file from the ibm website. When I tried to unzip using archieve manager it exits giving the following error. I have tried the same by logging in as root, but it again created the same error.

Please help me with this issue

I'm not sure exactly which version of IBM DB2 Express-C you are trying to load, but please check out this website, go to the Downloads link on that page, and you will see that it is available for a variety of operating systems. Obviously, you need the Linux version, either 32bit or 64bit, depending on your processor.
