Did you use the firebird installation option to install a gds32.dll into
the system directory.
This is the old style of things, whereas today usually fbclient.dll is
installed in Firebird's installation directory as the client library.
Some older applications expect the client library to ge gds32.dll in the
system directory, though.
This seems to be true also for IBObjects, the library IBOConsole is
written in. So this may be the source of your problem.

Look for a document called something like readme.windowslibraryinstall
somewhere in your installation path. There you find how you get this dll
even after Firebird installation.
