I had a look at the latest SF download, but the installation docs in the file "README.build.posix.html" are kind of incomplete - do I need "autogen.sh" while there is already "configure" included? Seems that I need "make", but it's not mentioned - and make "what"? What does "make install" finally do? Or should I pick a Linux binary? There seems to be just one "install.sh" and nothing else. (With Gentoo, you're used to compile and install all by yourself anyway.) :-) On my older system, the same old Gentoo FB package has been running for years without any problems - it can't be *that* bad :-) > I even do not remember - may be there was really BOF in that 2.0.3 > dinosaurus:) And I do not know > what method of user management is used in proprietary software like IBExpert. > Can you try to > reproduce using flamerobin if you prefer GUI tools? Yes. Just register the server (database registration is not necessary) and select "Server / Manage users". Crash. With my old server (also FB 2.0.3, but Gentoo kernel 2.6.38 instead of 3.0.6), it works. >> n (Server) Sun Nov 13 18:43:41 2011 64 bit i/o support is on. > Yes, 64 bit mode was something new 6 years ago.

I just wonder why those messages never appear in my old installation?! Both Gentoo systems have exactly the same package (2.0.3.12981.0-r6) installed. Strange. > Try with 2.5.1. Or if you prefer 2.0 - 2.0.6. With 2.5.x, I'd be afraid if all the client software would still work? (It's a lot of different clients, from Delphi7's "IBSQL" component to PHP scripts with "ibase_" in Apache...). How big is the chance that all those clients can remain unchanged? Ok, I could use 2.0.6 (then there's surely no client problem). But I'd have to install that manually, too, and while I'm at it, I'd prefer the latest version (2.5.x), of course. > If BOF still persists - try to follow > http://www.ibphoenix.com/resources/documents/search/doc_36 Hmmmm.... using superserver, but no core file in /tmp (or elsewhere). -Matt
