Yes, I'm 100% sure - I have FB 2.1 with these libraries up and running.
I have new hardware for FB 2.5, so now I have two servers that I can
compare...

Does restore process compile procedures? I hardly remember, but probably
I had not been able to restore database without UDF libraries... So
first thing I did was copying UDF files from old machine to new one.

This might be the issue. Libraries are quite old - compiled 5-6 years
ago. Function cannot be executed due to missing other libraries and the
result (message) is the same as missing library file itselt...

Can someone else provide some clue how to check this on linux...
