Thank you for your response.
Basically, I just want to modify one file, that is alice.cpp (the modified version is inside attachment). (In fact, I am just an amateur coder- the firebird
source code is really complex and complicated :D)
After I installed linux os and the firebird 2.1.1 using FirebirdSS-2.1.1.17910-0.nptl.i686.rpm,
I want to override some files so that gfix will write into a file whenever it found that database in corrupt condition.

That's why I want to know how to compile firebird 2.1.1.

BTW, how to accomplish this "you need to enable super server "?
Should I add some parameters when I run ./autogen.sh ?


Thank you very much.

Regards,
Ferry

by default classic server is enabled
you need to enable super server
otherwise you might need the xinet.d installed to work with classic
