Hi,

I am trying to install Firebird on Linux to run as as embedded server
using the instructions given in
http://www.firebirdfaq.org/Firebird-Embedded-Linux-HOWTO.html. The HOWTO
is written for v1.5.3 but I am trying to use it to install FB 2.1.0.

I am stuck at Step 3: create a database

I get

[mling@alfred fbembed]$ bin/isql -user sysdba -pass masterkey
bin/isql: error while loading shared libraries: libfbembed.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

when I am suppose to do this:

milanb@xx:~/fbembed$ bin/isql -user sysdba -pass masterkey
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL> create database 'test.fdb';
lock manager: couldn't set uid to superuser
SQL> exit;

My directory listing (/home/mling/fbembed) is:

drwxr-xr-x 4 mling users 4096 Oct 13 20:45 .
drwx------ 9 mling users 4096 Oct 13 19:42 ..

Please assist and thanks in advance.
