Which version of Firebird are you using and how did you install it? Was it from the repository? Or from the rpm? I have installed mine from the .tar.gz archive, and it created the symbolic links for all the libraries in /opt/firebird/lib to /usr/lib I know if you install from the repository (at least for Ubuntu), you will need to install also firebird-devel. > Just a note that I get some warnings for make install too, eg. : > fb.c: In function ‘fb_error_check’: > fb.c:380: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘isc_sqlcode’ from incompatible > pointer type > > (I'm trying to connect like : > db = Database.new( > :database => "x.x.x.x:d:\\database\\tesdb.gdb", > :username => 'username', > :password => 'password') > conn = db.connect rescue db.create.connect > ) > That seems to be ok, but the path should be /database/testdb.gdb. Are you using interbase or firebird? Or is it just a habit from interbase to give your database files a .gdb extension? Anyway, try to check if you have the development libraries all in place. When I first installed the fb gem, I had the same error you did, but then I cleaned up all the fb libraries in /usr/lib and then created the symbolic links by hand, and that solved my problem. But, as I said, I installed from the .tar.gz archive on Ubuntu. Don't know if the same will resolve your issue with CentOS, but I think it should. Hope that helps you solve your problem.
