the ideal solution - forcing the user to manually create a
libfbclient.so symbolic link to the versioned on. And to do that, they
must have root privileges!
Possible solutions:
-------------------
1) Change SqlDB + Firebird code to look for 'libfbclient.so.2' by
default. After all, version 2 of Firebird has been out for years.
Best. Or simply use the static ones and -XLA.
If you use the static units, a simple -XLAfbclient=fpbclient.2 might
solve this too.
But then it fails on a Firebird 1.5 installation, and there are a lot
of those around as well.
The patch as Graeme suggests is good, and will solve 99% of all cases.
For the corner cases that still go wrong, the programmer can fix it by
explicitly detecting and loading the correct one at program startup.
