I try to run isql as root and as firebird/firebird. Same problem.

I just found the fb_config program in the bin directory. It seems to
display settings and compiler options.
Here are the results :

{op}@beahbh # ./fb_config

Usage ./fb_config [Options]

Where Options are:
--cflags
--libs
--embedlibs
--bindir
--version
{op}@beahbh # ./fb_config --cflags
-I/usr/local/firebird/include
{op}@beahbh # ./fb_config --libs
-L/usr/local/firebird/lib -lfbclient
{op}@beahbh # ./fb_config --embedlibs
-L/usr/local/firebird/lib -lfbembed
{op}@beahbh # ./fb_config --bindir
/usr/local/firebird/bin
{op}@beahbh # ./fb_config --version
1.5.2.4731-0.hppa2.0w


I'm not sure of what it really means but it seems that Firebird was
compiled to be run in the /usr/local directory.
