Yup - it runs, and I can connect to it. But if I try to link applications
depending or including gds.h and so on, that's where my problems started...
Someone on another OS (not linux or BSD) had posted a set of patches to
sourceforge about the same trouble. At the time, the build procedure was too
complex / I didn't have time to work on it more...

Oh I knew you were gonna say that!

I'll give it another shot then, refresh my memory and try again... maybe it
was fixed soon after I saw the problem but I missed the changes... I'll give
it a shot and let you know.

Anyone else with FreeBSD / Firebird / PHP experience? (Just trying to see if
there is a peer group)

Thanks,
