Hi all,

Slightly off topic, can I use latest firebird for Linux. I tried last weekend
but it spits out lots of errors.

Not really. It depends on the C library installation on your system.
It seems to me SuSE's C library has crypt routines built-in and does
not need the separate crypt library. Redhat does need it, if I
remember correctly. At least, here it compiles without any additional
{$linklib crypt} statement

Since it doesn't hurt, I added the {$LINKLIB crypt} statement to the
ibase60 unit.

Michael.
