Hi Mark,

It works for me, but here what I did:

(I have firebird 1.5 CS on /opt/fb15 and firebird 2.1 CS on /opt/firebird)


1) created sym links for /opt/fb15/lib/libfbclient.so.1 and
/opt/fb15/lib/libfbclient.so.1.5.5 on /usr/lib (somehow those where deleted
when I installed fb2.1)

OBS:: sym links for libfbclient.so, libfbembed.so, libib_util.so, libgds.so
and libgds.so.0 are all pointing to /opt/firebird/lib (fb 2.1)

2) I created scripts on /usr/local/sbin to access FB15/bin tools (isql,
gbak, etc), eg:

/usr/local/sbin/isql1

#!/bin/bash
#
export FIREBIRD=/opt/fb15
/opt/fb15/bin/isql $@


than to access FB 2.1 i do:

/opt/firebird/bin/isql localhost/3051:employee -u sysdba -p sysdba_2.1_pass

and to access FB 1.5 i do:

/usr/local/sbin/isql1 localhost:employee.fdb -u sysdba -p sysdba_1.5_pass


that works fine. so I used your same solution to fb_inet_server to run fb
1.5 tools. If that still don't work for you, let me know.


Regards,
Anderson Farias
