Hi everybody,

I'm happy with Firebird and I use FB 2.5.5 under Linux.

I tried to install the new Firebind 3.0 but was missing the tommath library.

Found it on the internet and installed it with # dpkg -i libtommath0_0.42.0-1.1_amd64.deb

Then I stopped FB2.5 (# service firebird stop) and ran the install script as root (output see below).

After entering the password apparrently something went wrong.

I don't know what and why. A problem with the old version?

Any help is appreciated.

Best Regards
