[Firebird-devel] Default setting for legacy secure plugin in firebird3

2011-12-19 Thread Alex Peshkoff

Alex, On closer inspection, this might just be an artifact of the Debian build process. Both the include file and the icu libraries are version 3.8 - hence no problem here. However, running ldd on libfbtrace.so does not list any libicu* library. On the other hand, a strings command on libfbtrace.
