I did some extra testing. I downloaded the most recent snapshot build of FB 2.1.5 and tried with it to. Same result.

Then I tried something else. I tried with simple create database statement without character set.

Success!!

Next thing was to check is there libicu installed by CentOS and there was. After removing libicu-3.6 I was able to create my database using UTF8 as default character set without any error messages.

I hope this can help someone else in case he has similar problem.

As soon as i try to connect I get "Implementation of text subtype 3 not located." and can't continue. I create and connect to database using isql.
