Could you try with FlameRobin on the Linux machine? Or at least with
isql. That would take care of server/client version mismatch.

Also, check the privileges on the database file and
/opt/firebird/examples directory. I don't know if you installed via
.rpm, .tar.gz or compiled the code, but some installation scripts do set
too restrictive rights for those.
