Yes, FlameRobin was statically linked. But that's beside the point. It works in FPC is you statically like your SqlDB+Firebird application (though I had a libfbclient.so symlink already), but it fails if you dynamically link that same app. Not to mention that SqlDB defaults to dynamically linked - something myself and others seem to prefer. I just think ibconnection.pp should rather look at the versioned shared library, just like the linker does with static linking. Thus making applications easier to deploy. Is that too much to ask? -- 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
