I'm trying to install firebird 1.0.2 on freebsd 5.0 (on an old machine:
i386 - Pentium 133 MHz) in two different ways:

1) package "firebird-1.0_2.tbz"
After installing package firebird-1.0_2.tbz on freebsd 5.0 with "pkg_add
firebird-1.0_2.tbz" it seems working fine.
The text client "isql" works; when i try to execute "./ibmgr -start" in
bin directory as user "toor", i receive this message:
<
toor@fbsd95: /usr/local/firebird/bin> ./ibmgr -start
check $INTERBASE/interbase.log file for errors
can not start server

>

The interbase.log file contains:
<
fbsd95.cosmic.it Wed Dec 10 21:03:31 2003
INET/inet_error: connect errno = 61
fbsd95.cosmic.it Wed Dec 10 21:03:31 2003
/usr/interbase/bin/ibguard: guardian starting bin/ibserver
fbsd95.cosmic.it (Server) Wed Dec 10 21:03:33 2003
SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for root
fbsd95.cosmic.it (Server) Wed Dec 10 21:03:33 2003
SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for root
......

If i try as user "firebird":
<
@fbsd95: /usr/local/firebird/bin> ./ibmgr -start
check $INTERBASE/interbase.log file for errors
can not start server
@fbsd95: /usr/local/firebird/bin>

>

and the log contains:
<
fbsd95.cosmic.it (Server) Wed Dec 10 21:09:59 2003
SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for firebird
fbsd95.cosmic.it (Server) Wed Dec 10 21:09:59 2003
SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for firebird
......

In process list (ps aux) i can see the following:
<
firebird 829 0.0 1.8 2580 1048 p0 I 9:09PM 0:00.03
/usr/interbase/bin/ibguard -f
firebird 830 0.0 4.9 3736 2952 p0 S 9:09PM 0:00.76
/usr/interbase/bin/ibserver
firebird 849 0.0 1.7 2564 1008 p0 I 9:11PM 0:00.03
/usr/interbase/bin/ibguard -f

>

What does this means ? I can see databases from interbase win32 client ...

2) port "/usr/ports/databases/firebird" (make install)
Aborting compilation with error messages.

Anyone can help me ?

Thank you
