Did you try ibase60dyn.initializeibase60('whatever.so'); in your dpr ? I
noticed you didn't react to that suggestion (and a similar suggestion from
Jonas)
Since 2.4.2 afaik most db routines have such routines, though I haven't seen
them tested much.
The main reason is exactly discussions like this popping up every half year
about library naming purposes, adding embedded or odd ball versions and so on.
