Hi
Thx for answer.
I'm working with firebird databases for many years but building it from sources is quite hard to me. I've got basic Linux knowledge.
At the moment I've got fresh install of Debian for test purposes. Due to some UDF issues (rfunc and it's dependencies) I'm trying to install firebird at /usr/lib/firebird path.
I've downloaded firebird sources from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/files/firebird/2.1.3-Release/Firebird-2.1.3.18185-0.tar.bz2/download
then run
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/lib/firebird --enable-superserver
According to errors messages and some google tips I've installed necessary packages from debian's repository:
autoconf
libtool
libncurses-dev
make
(each one came with some dependent packages)
Finally got:
The Firebird2 package has been configured with the following options:
Architecture : SuperServer
Debug : disabled
64 bit I/O for 32-bit platforms : enabled
Raw devices : enabled
Service name : gds_db
Service port : 3050
GPRE modules : c_cxx.cpp

Install Dir : /usr/lib/firebird
And I got stuck on make command:
(...)
make[3]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Leaving directory
(...)
make: *** [firebird] B³±d 2
