I mean Firebird-1.5.0.4027-RC7-0.tar.gz (last install script worked

Please find below ouputs of the installation script and of 'ls -lR'.
If this is not easily readable for you (are you using Yahoo's web
interface?), please write me privately at fabrice.aeschbacher@siemens.

Things I noticed:
- symbolic links missing for /opt/firebird/bin/* in /usr/bin
- files in /opt/firebird/bin not readable => only root can execute
them
- /opt/firebird/firebird.conf not readable
