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
