PH and DB2 on HPUX Problems

I'm not fully into understanding this whole request; but I will offer a 
little bit of insight that seems far too obvious to me.

I don't believe that ../../../pahpux/bin//libcogudasql.sl is a valid 
path for the file
libcogudasql.sl

It appears that there is an extra '/' in the path between "bin" and the 
shared library "libcogudasql.sl".
