acceptable ICU library"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5764
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5764
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Installation
Affects Versions: 3.0.3
Environment: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3, 64-bit
Firebird-3.0.3, 64-bit (installation package:
Firebird-3.0.3.32900-0.amd64.tar.gz)
No other Firebird Server version are present (or were present) on target
system. Firebird 3.0.3 should have been first and only Firebird instance.
Reporter: Miroslav Vacek
If I try to install Firebird 3.0.3 on SLES 12 SP3 I get following error message:
"Could not find acceptable ICU library"
Pre-requisities:
1) Install libtommath1 on target system (it is not part of default SLES
distribution packages).\
=============================================
$ zypper install libtommath1
=============================================
2) Create symlink "libtommath.so.0" for "/usr/lib64/libtommath.so.1".
=============================================
$ ln -sf /usr/lib64/libtommath.so.1 /usr/lib64/libtommath.so.0
=============================================
3) Check presence of default libicu library. Version 52.1 should be present.
=============================================
$ rpm -ql libicu52_1
# /usr/lib64/libicudata.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libicudata.so.52_1
# /usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.52_1
# /usr/lib64/libicuio.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libicuio.so.52_1
# /usr/lib64/libicule.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libicule.so.52_1
# /usr/lib64/libiculx.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libiculx.so.52_1
# /usr/lib64/libicutest.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libicutest.so.52_1
# /usr/lib64/libicutu.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libicutu.so.52_1
# /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.52.1
# /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.52_1
=============================================
Steps to reproduce problem:
1) Download Firebird 3.0.3 installation package for 64-bit Linux.
2) Extract installation package on target system.
3) Run "install.sh" script from extracted archive.
=============================================
$ ./install.sh

=============================================
Workaround:
- Build libicu 52.1 from sources and install it as system wide default.
- Re-run Firebird installation. It now completes without "Could not find
acceptable ICU library" error.
Expected behavior:
- Firebird correctly detects pre-installed ICU library version shipped with
SLES 12 SP3.
- Manual build of libicu 52.1 is not needed.
