Hi All,

So I implemented the updates to both /etc/init.d/firebird
and /ets/profile to include the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL stuff as mentioned
in the 1.5 release notes,
and it looked promising ...
executing the same scripts that caused problems before, now runs
smoothly !
But backing up the DB on my XP machine (also FB 1.5.1) (transportable)
and restoring it on the RH9 server still results in this :

...
gbak: restoring index FK_MINPRIJS
gbak: finishing, closing, and going home
IBE: Unsuccessful execution caused by a system error that precludes
successful execution of subsequent statements.
Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.0.144".
Error reading data from the connection.

IBE: Restore completed. Current time: 9:31:30. Elapsed time: 00:02:28

Anyone any ideas as how to interpret/solve this ?

The restore is done from my XP machine using IBExpert 2004.08.05
both trying replace database and create new database, both results in
same problem.

Thanks
Dirk Naudts.
