Alright then what are the steps to use local classic? I know I need to
specify the database to connect to without a hostname component but do I
use libfbclient.so or libfbembed.so (what exactly is the difference?)
and what are the minimum files to install with my application to run
Firebird embedded?

Right now I'm using libfbembed.so and isc_attach_database with a full
path to the database I want to use but I get an error that Firebird
can't run the fb_lock_mgr. Why do I need that if I'm using Firebird in
an embedded system?

Thanks for any help on this. I've been searching the Internet for
answers but have had little luck. I found one document that said I
could use libfbembed.so and then just needed firebird.msg and that was
it but thats sure not working for me!
