Hi all (or just Roman, it seems),
I successfully got firebird running on Windows, and now I must get it
running on LINUX as an EMBEDDED db from within my java program using
JAYBIRD.

I have followed the steps here
http://www.firebirdfaq.org/Firebird-Embedded-Linux-HOWTO.html to setup
the embedded db. I also installed jaybird by adding the
jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar to my classpath as well as adding
libjaybird21.so to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

When I execute the code below, I get the error shown below.

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Main myMain = new Main();
myMain.loadDriver();
myMain.createDatabase();
}

private void loadDriver() {
try {
Class.forName("org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
"Could not load driver '" + driverClass + "'", ex);
closeDBConnectionAndExit();
}
}

private void createDatabase() {
FBManager manager = new FBManager("EMBEDDED");
try {
manager.start();
manager.createDatabase("~/dbtesting/data/DB.FDB",
"SYSDBA", "masterkey");
manager.stop();
System.err.println("Create DB finished");
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
}
}

Anyone know what to do or how to go about fixing this?

Please help.
