You're a bit lost here in the versions. There was never a version one of
Interbase (AFAIR - 1996) maybe as Starbase perhaps..
So you mean Firebird 1.03 (not 1.3) and Firebird 1.5.
The client lib is now fbclient.dll and the install for the server (1.5)
creates a client lib gds32.dll as version 6.0 etc so as to achieve
compatibility with IBX components. As far as I know there is no problem
being backward compatible using the client lib v6 as gds32.dll with any
previous version of Firebird. and even Interbase 6. connecting to any server
of these versions.
I would have to guess that you have some old version of hte client lib
hanging around. Search your disk for gds32.dll for other versions.
Your best bet is to get rid of them.
