Subject FB-OSX example DB won't open under isql?
Author Maury Markowitz
I'm testing my FB install using isql and the employee.fdb database...

Maurys-MacBook-Air-2:bin maury$ ./isql localhost:/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Resources/examples/empbuild/employees.fdb
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = HY000
Can't access lock files' directory /tmp/firebird
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database

Is this expected behaviour? It's not mentioned in the readmes or guides I've looked at.
