Hi Monks,

I'm experiencing some problems with DBD::InterBase (the Firebird 2.1 driver). See below for the dump of it's output. Maybe it's related to the Version of (K)ubuntu that I'm using (12.04 LTS) as everything installed fine on previous versions. There seem to be two points of failure and I don't know if they're linked:

First failure

InterBase/Firebird bin directory : [/usr/bin] /usr/lib/firebird/2.1/bi
+n
InterBase/Firebird include directory : [/usr/include] 
Cannot proceed. Aborting..
[download]

One could imagine a little more in the way of error reporting.

Second failure

/usr/lib/firebird/2.1/bin/gstat: 11: exec: /usr/lib/firebird/2.1/bin/gstat.real: not found

I'm not sure if this was fatal or the cause of the latter warnings and errors.

What do you think?

Regards

Steve.
