Yes,

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/interbase/bin

You can add the above to your users
.bashrc

or system wide
/etc/profile

or place it in a file in
/etc/profile.d

All I did was untarred it and ran it? I do not remember having to do
anything special.

Are you still having the same problem with it looking for libcrypt?

If so run ldconfig -p to see if any of them are listed there. You may
have to simply run ldconfig after you make the symlinks as mention in a
previous email.

It will come with IBConsole, which both IBConsole and IBOConsole are
windows executables. You will need to install/run Wine in order to use
them.

I am only aware of IBAccess having native support for Linux. Not sure if
another one exists or not?
