I have FB and PHP 4.4 running under Mandrake 10 for almost two years now. No issues at all. It also seems to run fine uner Mandrake 10.1 and 10.2 (Mandriva2005), Red Hat 9.0 and Fedora 2.0 (over a year without problems). Suse 10 too, but this I have tried only recently. So far so good.

The fact though is that I could generate interbase.so under Mandrake 10 and Fedora 2 only. I can't quite generate it under other distros/versions, but the *.so I generated under Mandy 10 runs without issues under all the other distors I mentioned.

I can't get PHP5 to generate interbase.so under any distro I tried. I haven't tried Debian based distros though.

Do you run FB 1.5 (or 2.0) under Debian with PHP5?
