Sorry, but what do you mean about "client library" of Firebird
on Linux? I don't understand.

See, my application is almost ok. The only trouble ( that
I can see right now ) is a memory leaking :-) in the daemon server,
but I'm considering that it is my problem.

By other hand I don't make yet any "stress test" on the
application to see if it is able to handle dozens or even hundreds
of connections.

Thank you for time.
Best regards.
