Yes, but that will only be in Trunk, and could take up to a year before the next FPC "stable" release. I only deploy my commercial apps with stable FPC releases. In the mean time Linux distros get released about twice a year now. So distros will be ahead of FPC, and during that time libfbclient.so could be point at a version our software (and FPC) doesn't support. I hope that makes it clear now. > Regardless, as mentioned, the Firebird services API allows you to find > out what version a server is running. Yes, but as someone else also did the same thing as you. You are jumping the gun. You assume a database connection can be established. My problem was that the app can't even run because the libfbclient.so is missing in every standard Linux install, and that symlink is not included in the standard Firebird Client library package. Anyway, I got the answer to my question, and the next FPC release will be fixed. Plus I now also know how to modify my copy of FPC 2.6.1 so our products can be deployed with ease. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
