I rechecked with firebird-support. Now it's clear. Carl installed some sort of fb 1.5.3. The Ubuntu firebird2 isn't what it claimed to be. Here is the reply from Helen Borie: > It's not clear what you're saying here, but "firebird2" packages from > the debian (ubuntu) download areas are Firebird 1.5.3, not firebird > 2.
