Talk of libfbembed has reminded me of a problem I have been having with the debian/ubuntu builds for Firebird 2.5. It seems that the embeded server for this build (and possibly others) insists on being able to access the security2.fdb in /var/lib/firebird/2.5/system and refuses to run if the current user does not have read/write access. Setting the FIREBIRD environment variable does not help.
It looks like the macro BOOT_BUILD needs to be defined in the build process to avoid this behaviour (see common/utils.cpp line 930). Before I submit a bug report, can anyone confirm that this is correct and that setting this macro would not have undesirable consequences for the classic or super classic servers.
