Hellu,
 
If installed Interbase super server 6.0 on my RedHat 7.0 and have some problems:
- During installation with rpm it complains, and displays the following messages:
++++++++++++++

[root@ojo Interbase]# rpm -i InterBaseSS_LI-V6.0-1.i386.rpm
cannot get shared lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages

cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)

--> The rpm database cannot be opened in db3 format.
    If you have just upgraded the rpm package you need to convert
    your database to db3 format by running "rpm --rebuilddb" as root.

      Found a previous version of /usr/lib/libib_util.so.prev.lnk.prev.lnk
      Renaming it to /usr/lib/libib_util.so.prev.lnk.prev.lnk.prev.lnk .

I don't understand this error, as I have the latest rpm version (4) and did the rebuilddb action ??

- After above errors, interbase is still installed, however when starting the ibmgr: ibmgr -start on the command line, it just dies after a half a minute and the following errors appear in the log file:

        /opt/interbase/bin/ibguard: bin/ibserver normal shutdown.

Please some help on the above errors, or some information on where to find the description of the above error codes in the log file.

Additional information:
- In installed interbase as explained at http://www.interbase2000.com/doc_zamana.htm 

The only things I didn't do, was installing the lastest version of the glibc and install a older version of libncurses.so.3.

I don't think it is because of this, as it doesn't complains about it. Furthermore a made a symbolic link from the libncurses.so.3 to libncurses.so
