It looks like F27 hasn't quite gone beta yet, so I'll hang fire from that on my main work computer, although I'll spin up a VM with it later.

In the mean time I've tried installing the Firebird package from dnf (I actually tried this first and have just tried it again). It appears to install okay, but then any interaction I try to make with the database I get a "Install incomplete" message.

$ isql-fb 
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL> connect localhost:employee user sysdba password masterkey;
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 28000
Install incomplete, please read the Compatibility chapter in the release notes for this version

This happens with the cli, FlameRobin and PHP.

I've successfully installed Firebase on a Mac, but I haven't been able to get my PHP install to connect to it, always resulting in an error saying 'Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.8.19".' - although FlameRobin can connect. But I understand that this later part is out of the scope of this list.

Thanks,
Allan

Please use the Fedora package
yum install firebird

and if really you need 3.0.2, under f26, ask for an update to Fedora
, or move to f27
