If you're using the firebird port and system compiler then it builds correctly on a clean FreeBSD system. If you're seeing errors using the port and system compiler, check that you have followed all the directions in UPDATING. Also check that you're not using weirdo CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS settings (it's not clear from the output you included, but it looks like you might be). If you tell g++ to be pickier about the code it accepts, and then it gives errors from non-conforming code, you've only got yourself to blame :-) If you're not using the port or not using the system compiler, and you are using default compiler flags, you're probably seeing the error because newer versions of gcc are much stricter in the code they will accept as valid. Talk to the firebird developers about fixing the bugs in their code. Kris
