Hello, 

I'm experiencing something weird with Firebird after I upgraded my OSX to Lion 
(10.7). On Snow Leopard, everything ran smoothly. After the upgrade, I couldn't 
connect with any fdb on my local machine.

After reinstalling (I use FirebirdCS-2.1.4-18393-lipo - I need both 32 and 64 
bits libraries), I can connect to local databases only if they are not on my 
home directory (/Users/guimas). It always gives me a "permission denied", no 
matter what the file attributes are.

I've chown the fdb file to firebird:firebird and chmod it to a+r and a+w, and 
it didn't help.

I created a directory in /var/lib/firebird, chmod and chown it, and fdbs there 
work.

Looking at the firebird.log, I have this message, when I try to connect to a 
fdb in my home folder:


imacguimas      Wed Aug 10 10:01:45 2011
        operating system directive semctl failed


imacguimas      Wed Aug 10 10:01:45 2011
        Permission denied

So... It works perfectly if the fdbs are not in the home folder. Is that a bug 
introduced by Lion?

Thanks, 

Guilherme
