>Is not there pre-3 version of firebird running on your box? Ah thanks, that helps!
Originally I uninstalled firebird alpha-2 and installed firebird beta-1 in the same firebird_3_0 directory. Probably some old security database was still remaining there, causing the mentioned gsec-error. Now I've deleted all of firebird_3_0 directory and installed beta-1 again. Installation of beta-1 is finishing without problems now!
