Looks like it can not load database engine library needed for embedded
access - and therefore tries to use network access. The irony is that
engine is actively used during build process, and if build completes OK
- that means engine exists and runs successfully.
I tried this:
$ FIREBIRD=/path/to/firebird/src/gen/Release/firebird/ ./bin/isql employee
src is unneded here - gen is not in src
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = HY000
operating system directive access failed
-Not a directory
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
(which seems necessary for the .msg file and presumably configuration files)
and several variations, all with the same error message.
I also tried hard-coding the employee and security database paths in
the .conf files
in the $FIREBIRD directory, no change.
All files in the $FIREBIRD directory path are owned by the same (non-root) user.
Any further assistance much appreciated.
Sorry - looks like I've forgotten --enable-binreloc configure switch. On
the other hand - isql displays messages correctly, i.e. firebird.msg is
found.
If that switch does not help please try to add line
Providers = Engine13
to firebird.conf and see what message comes from isql.
