Hi Philippe,

Thanks for answering.

That last extension (:I386) did it to get the 32 bit library. I didn't
know about such extension.
But still "cannot load error" while starting the program.
Could it be it finds the 64 bit libfbclient.so first and throws the "can
not load default Firebird clients" error?
