Installed firebird 1.5 CS on linux.
When I start the server using

>/etc/init.d/firebird start

gds_db: unrecognized service
/etc/init.d/firebird: line 10: flags: command not found
/etc/init.d/firebird: line 11: socket_type: command not found
/etc/init.d/firebird: line 12: wait: `=': not a pid or valid job spec
/etc/init.d/firebird: line 12: wait: `no': not a pid or valid job spec
/etc/init.d/firebird: line 13: user: command not found
/etc/init.d/firebird: line 18: server: command not found
disable: Operation failed: client-error-not-found

gds_db 3050/tcp # Firebird SQL ... already exists in my etc/services

firebird.log shows:
localhost.localdomain Thu Jul 6 12:40:45 2006
INET/inet_error: connect errno = 111

Any ideas what the problem might be.
Suggestions and Solution is greatly appreciated.
