Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I'm not sure I understand. I actually did initially try --with-builtin-libtommath but that failed - I assumed because the library isn't present in the Firebird sources?

But it's wasn't present on my system either - when I installed it, the compilation went further than without it.

What will compiling now with --with-builtin-libtommath do that it didn't before?

Sorry if I seem a bit obtuse, but this area really isn't my forte!

Rgs,
