Yes.

If you are going to use Superserver, there is a special kit for the 64-bit
Linuxen - make sure you download the proper kit from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9028

The title you should look for is FirebirdSS-1.5.m.nnnn-0.i686.nptl.rpm

where
m = 1 or higher
nnnn = a 4-digit build number.

Currently the rpm kit is FirebirdSS-1.5.1.4481-0.i686.nptl.rpm. A v.1.5.2
kit should be available shortly.

The "nptl" part of the name indicates that these kits are built especially
for Linuxen that use the "New POSIX Threading Library" (NPTL) - meaning you
can use Firebird on Fedora Core 2 and other Linuxen that implement NPTL ,
without altering the OS settings. It really matters for Superserver.
