Subject Firebird 1.5.1 oten crashes on our RedHat 9 server
Author dirknaudts
Hi
Are there any known issues to keep in mind when installing FB on
RedHat 9 ?

We've installed FB 1.5.1 rpm on RH9, and it is running really
unstable: All to often we get a General network error : Unable to
complete network request to host... At first I thought it had to do
with my software, but after trying to exclude that, I ended up with
running a script via IBExpert which causes the same error to occur.
The script starts executing, and crashes the server at the moment the
first trigger is to be compiled.
If it would help, i'm willing to send the script which crashes my FB
server.
Running exactly the same script on my FB 1.5.1 server on my WinXP
machine, there's no problem at all.
The script creates a DB, defines some udf's from libtbudf.so, creates
some tables, generators and indexes, and should then also create some
triggers, and SP. I have the feeling it has sth. to do with the udf,
but I already recompiled it on a Kylix dev machine (which is running
on Gento).

I'm really puzzled as to what is causing this behaviour. Problem is
that I'm still a complete Linux newbie, and it's our customer's
server, so they installed it, all I did was advice them to go for a
Firebird DB...

Any help/info muchh appreciated.

Best regards,

Dirk Naudts.
