Subject RE: [firebird-support] fbtrace - linux server
Author
Hi,
Thanks Konstantin,
Sorry for the darkness ... :-)
Yes The server is a debian, just checked the version : 6.0.7 , that's a Squeeze and the firebird package was installed from the debian depot.
Just checked firebird log file, and found this message : (not exactly the same as the one you gave in the debian bug report)

"Trace plugin libfbtrace.so returned error on call trace_create.
Error details: line 1: error while compiling regular expression "/var/databases/mlv2_ps4t.fdb""

I'm now reading the bugreport/tracker posts.

Just a shot in the dark: are you running Debian Squeeze by chance?
I've stumbled upon this bug [1] in it, which looks similar to the symptoms you describe.

Next time please consider that "Linux" is just a kernel, and you're not running FB on Linux, you're running it on some operating system which just happens to use Linux as its kernel. Bugs in software may be caused by myriads of various factors, often not rooted in software itself, but rather in the libraries they use, the ways the system is configured etc. So always specify precisely which version of which OS you're running and how did you obtain the software which shows problematic behaviour -- I mean, did you install FB from a package provided by your OS or fetched ready-made package from somewhere else or built from the sources?
