Firebird already installed OK, (only in services is still written
stopped) but when I test it according to page 57 in Release notes

cd /opt/firebird/bin
isql -user sysdba -password (password from sysdba.password)

returns

bash: isql: command not found

password is correctly written from generated file sysdba.password not
ommitting size of letters.
I have already tried to instal versions SS 1.03, CS 1.5.1, SS 1.5.1,
SS 1.5.1 nptl but the result is always the same.

What am I doing wrong?

Can anybody help me?

Thanks Alex
