Right, I've noticed it. For the time being, I've only copied the 
original Firebird library fblclient.so.2 to local fbclient.so. Anyway, 
I'm happy because the program works independently of the current FB library.
On the other hand, we are used to install and work with FB since years 
and the library problem is well known. But because I'm also concerned 
with Linux application development (mainly services and libraries ;-) ) 
installation team still forgets to install native client FB librarie.
Thans for focusing my attention on this operational problem.

Antonio.
