FYI, the embedded server is only implemented on Windows. You can do a kind
of embedded application on Linux Classic using the libfbembed.so client,
but the architecture is totally different from the Windows embedded
server. Mac, no.

This is off-topic for the IBO list. Ask it again on the firebird-support
