Nup, it looks like the latest version if FB2 you can build from ports is
2.0.a3 - quite old.
I've contacted the maintainer of the port, asking if he can re-roll the
port, and I'm also having a bash at it myself.

Hopefully, most of the patches in
'/usr/ports/databases/firebird-devel/files' will apply cleaning, but I'm
expecting to do some serious massaging...

Nige.

Hang on (Hmm, replying to my own emails...), the Makefile in my ports tree
seems to be out of date - I'll just cvsup, and see if Beta 3's hooked in
yet...

I am presuming you used /usr/ports/databases/firebird-devel?

If not, you've got a few days work...

I attempted building firebird 2.0 RC3 on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE from the source
tarball and ran into several issues.

1. Examples flat out do not build I finally ended up removing
examples_cp from gen/Makefile and this got it to build
2. there is a weird semaphore error that can only be cleared up by
using ipcs to list semaphores then ipcrm -s to remove the bad semaphore
3. gmake clean fails because clean_editline contains -make -C
$(ROOT)/extern/editline clean as does clean_icu
4. gmake gives the warning find: ./firebird/examples/v5: No such file
or directory
5. Upon completing install I am still unable to connect, attempting to
run fb_inet_server directly gives /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object
"libicuuc.so.30" not found, required by "libfbembed.so.2"

Has anyone successfully installed firebird 2.0 on a FreeBSD system?
