Thomas,

My (linux) version of fb_udf does have an entry point called 'right'
(checked with nm). I tried to copy fb_util almost everywhere, but it
does not help.

I tried to install firebird 1.5 CS on another linux box, and I could
use fb_udf without any problem.

FB 1.5 comes with 2 udf libs: ib_udf.so and fb_udf.so

The first works great with FB1.0.3
The second (of course, containing the udf I need :-( does not.

Best regards,
Fabrice
