Probably better to ask on the IBO list, especially as you're so light on the details. Did you know that old IBO versions won't reliably support Firebird 2 and above? 4.7 was a major refactoring to meet the v.2 changes and, AFAIR, 4.8 was the first stable version of IBO for use with Fb 2.1. I'd suggest your first imperative is to find out which is the best version of IBO for Fb 2.5 *on your platforms* and start upgrading things.
