Thanks Helen, but..
my simple question is - I distribute my apps for Windows with 3 dlls and
they just work. For any user. But when I have to do this in Linux - I
have to write some files in /opt/firebird .. a place where ordinary user
may not have sufficient rights to do so. So please can you guide me a
little how can I work this out.
