I've some sick WIndows machine on the bench at the moment
that their owners need back before the end of the month ( to
complete accounts :) ) so I can't do anything at present.

You did set the interbase.so 'share' to /opt/firebird when
you compiled it? That should be all it needs to find the
copy of Firebird that is running.

Not having had a problem I am a bit at a loss, but I hope to
have broadband by the end of today, and will be updating 8.2
to 9.0 tonight with a little luck. So should be in the same
position as you at the weekend.
