Subject Linux installation problem
Author Lee Jenkins
Centos 4.4
FirebirdCS-1.5.3-4870

Installing from the rpm, no programs can run because they say that
client libraries cannot be loaded. I poked around after reading over
the release notes and I see the libraries there in /opt/firebird/lib
with links to them in /usr/lib.

I'm trying to connect from lazarus (latest builds) using uib and even if
I point the component directly to the libfbclient.so link in /usr/lib, I
get the same thing.

I also tried running isql which threw an exception saying that
"libstdc++.so.5 could be opened "No such file or directory".

The installation with the rpm seemd to go fine, no errors or mention of
missing dependencies, etc.

I've worked with fb on windows quite a bit, but I'm just cutting my
teeth on linux so any pointers would be appreciated.

p.s. I've unisntalled and re-installed a couple of times just to be sure.
