Hello on FreeBSD 5.1, I installed Firebird 0.7 from the ports. However, I cannot start it from an xterm. If I enter $ firebird or $ MozillaFirebird the system pauses for about a second, then returns to the prompt. ps(1) doesn't show a running firebird, and $ echo $? yields 1.

A kdump from my machine at home where top is working gives the same output (only the numbers given with execve differ). Ooops, I think I should be root for ktrace'ing :-) I've made kdumps as root now on my home machine and the server. I'll look into them and will describe my findings then.
