I am trying to install ibm_db_sa in my miniconda virtual environment (python 3.6). I am seeing this error and it could be because I am a separate user on my laptop and not the admin. Is there any solution/workaround this?

sudo pip install ibm_db_sa

  • Have you tried an installation in your account? "pip --user install" – data_henrik Sep 29 '21 at 08:33
  • Not sure how that works. Can you explain? This command as it as doesn't work. Also, pip works for installing other libraries @data_henrik – x89 Sep 29 '21 at 08:36
  • That would install the tools in your account, not globally. I just checked the GitHub repo for the driver and found this: https://github.com/ibmdb/python-ibmdb/issues/653 It is a known issue with setuptools and being worked on. – data_henrik Sep 29 '21 at 08:46

The issue you ran into seems related to a problem with setuptools. See this issue in the GitHub repository for the ibm_db driver.
