Subject FBExport returns error - cannot open shared object file - libfbembed.so.1
Author melvinhcox
I have installed the Linux binary for the FBExport utility (ver 1.67)
in /usr/local/bin on a production machine running CENTos 5. The
machine hosts a Firebird 2.0.x database engine (Superserver).

All attempts to run FBExport return an error indicating that
"libfbembed.so.1" can not be found.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:

fbexport -L -H localhost -D <path to my database> -P <password>

fbexport: error while loading shared libraries: libfbembed.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A previous installation under Firebird 1.5 ran without problems.

What is the best strategy for addressing this problem (without, of
course, disrupting a production environment)?
