[Dbi-interbase-devel] report on 20.3

[Mark D. A. <md...@di...>]

i just downloaded and tried the 20.3 tarball.
it built successfully, once i edited Makefile.PL to use /opt/interbase instead
of /usr/interbase (a change between beta and final linux release).

however, i couldn't even get a connect to work:

this line
    my $dbh = DBI->connect($OUT_DBI_DSN,'','',{RaiseError=>1}) || die "cannot connect to '$OUT_DBI_DSN': ",
 $DBI::errstr;

got me this:
DBI->connect failed: lock conflict on no wait transaction at snapshot.pl line 180
 at:
        Carp::croak (package 'Carp') at /home/buildsite/local/perl-5.6.0/lib/5.6.0/Carp.pm, line 119
        DBI::connect (package 'DBI') at /home/buildsite/local/perl-5.6.0/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/DBI\
.pm, line 385
        main::main (package 'main') at snapshot.pl, line 180
        (top) (package 'main') at snapshot.pl, line 234

btw, how awful would it be to name this module something other than DBD::InterBase,
seeing as how there are two other such module out there already?
it makes it hard to have multiple alternatives installed.
