Hi, > Curiously we have a libfbembed2.5 package on Debian though?
I see. The problem is Debian packaging which is different (customized to fit Debian standards and ideas) than stock Firebird. It's possible that there is special Debian package for embedded Firebird (I suspect they compiled client library for SuperServer that can't use libfbembed.so - classic engine - directly). I don't use Debian, so I can't give you better answer. But I can assure you that it works as I said (at least on openSuSE and/or with standard Firebird distribution packages). In stock Classic package you have libfbclient that talks to network or loads libfbembed directly, libfbembed (the engine) and fb_inet_server that wraps libfbembed for xinetd or other such daemon. best regards Pavel Cisar IBPhoenix
