Hi all,

I'm running into a problem installing Firebird on Fedora 26.

I grabbed `Firebird-3.0.2.32703-0` from the download page (
https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/firebird-3-0/#Linux_x86 ), untar'ed it and
ran `sudo ./install.sh`.

It installs a bunch of files, asked for a new password and then:

   ./install.sh: line 168: /opt/firebird/bin/gsec: No such file or directory

   Fatal error running 'systemctl --quiet start
firebird-superserver.service' - exiting

`systemctl status firebird-superserver` shows:

  Oct 01 17:22:07 stargazer systemd[1]: Starting Firebird Database Server (
SuperServer )...
  Oct 01 17:22:07 stargazer systemd[9812]: firebird-superserver.service:

  Oct 01 17:22:07 stargazer systemd[1]: firebird-superserver.service:
Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Fairly weird. So I `cd /opt/firebird/bin`, then `ls -l` and get:

-rwx------. 1 root root   3536 Oct  1 17:21 registerDatabase.sh

More weird! Then: `sudo ./fbguard` and:

  sudo: unable to execute ./fbguard: No such file or directory

Very weird! I can't explain that. The file is present but it doesn't appear
to be when I attempt to execute it. Perhaps this is something more Fedora
related that Firebird, but I've not had any problems with any other
software on F26.

Does anyone have any ideas what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Allan
