I ran into problems after upgrade from 2.5.7 to 2.5.8 (using the EPEL repository, firebird-superserver). The server returns an error when trying to access WIN1251 character fields, and there are log entries "Can't load INTL module '/usr/lib64/firebird/intl/fbintl.so'" at server startup. (there is really no "fbintl.so" in that location, just "fbintl", but this is the same for 2.5.7 and it works).

The same problems appears also when installing 2.5.8 on a clean CentOS 7 system. Installing from the firebirdsql.org RPM seems to work fine (though I had to use rpm -i --nodeps  --force to make it install).

Q1: What can be the reason for this and is there a way to work around it (change some config, copy some file from the firebirdsql.org rpm or something like that.

Q2. What would be the proper way to reach the EPEL firebird maintainer (I think it is Phillipe Makowski) for reporting this issue?

Thanks

PS ldd -d /usr/lib64/firebird/intl/fbintl

undefined symbol: gds__log      (/usr/lib64/firebird/intl/fbintl)

...

could that be related?
