Yes, but you are jumping the gun here! My problem is that I can't even start my app, because the libfbclient.so is missing in every distro I tried. Linux distros (on client PC's at least), do not include the -devel packages by default, so they only have the versioned shared libraries setup. I had a quick look to see what other (non FPC based) application do. FlameRobin has a dependency on libfbclient.so.2 (thus versioned .so library). That's why it works without having to install the -devel package. So why does FCL-DB look at the unversioned *.so by default? Wouldn't it make more sense to change FCL-DB to look for libfbclient.so.2 instead? 2 being the latest major version of Firebird DB, and that is also the latest version that ibconnection.pp was written for. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
