Thanks again for your input, The command I ran: > ./configure --prefix=/home/pol/Downloads/sw/db/fb/inst > --with-builtin-libtommath then > make Same failure as before (at bottom).

If you look in extern within your firebird code there should be a libtommath directory. That code is used to build the libtommath library which will be linked into the firebird shared library during compilation. I know this works because there is no installed libtommath library on MacOS and I have to build fireird this way so that firebird is dependent on some randomly installed 3rd party libtommath library. regards Paul

Hi Paul, > at a guess it looks like the libtommath you installed wasn't build with =fPIC > a must if you want to include its symbols in another shared library (Firebird) > Perhaps it would be easier if you used the configure command > --with-builtin-libtommath? Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'm not sure I understand. I actually did initially try --with-builtin-libtommath but that failed - I assumed because the library isn't present in the Firebird sources? But it's wasn't present on my system either - when I installed it, the compilation went further than without it. What will compiling now with --with-builtin-libtommath do that it didn't before? Sorry if I seem a bit obtuse, but this area really isn't my forte! Rgs, Pól...
RE: [firebird-support] Compling from source.
Hi again Paul, > Perhaps it would be easier if you used the configure command > --with-builtin-libtommath? I just tried compiling again - it failed at the same point as before. ./configure --prefix=blah --with-builtin-libtommath Should I try compiling the libtommath library myself with different options? What might they be? Rgs, Pól...
