The recommended Linux kernel version is 2.6.34 and glibc should be version 2.12 or higher. Minimum - kernel 2.6.27 and glibc 2.7. If your glibc version is lower than v.2.7, it must be upgraded before using Firebird 2.5 Classic/SuperŅlassic. And Centos 5 have Kernel 2.6.18 and glibc 2.5 for what I know So I would not use Firebird 2.5 on Centos 5 upgrade to Centos 6
