It sounds as if you are using the wrong client. Check the version numbers
on all instances of gds32.dll on your machine. What you *need* for IB_SQL
is the small gds32.dll (36 Kb) plus fbclient.dll (348 Kb) and both need to
be found *first* by your app. So either put IB_SQL into the Firebird/bin
directory along with both of these libraries, or put the two libraries into
the Windows directory. (You will need to rename any gds32.dll that is
already there - it will be an IB one, or a Fb 1.0.x one).

Suffice it to say that you need to read the release notes to get your head
around the client libraries for 1.5.
