Error connecting to Firebird 3, component TIBConnection (SOLVED)
« on: November 29, 2020, 11:27:15 pm »
Dear community, I am having problems trying to connect to firebird, I am using Lazarus V2.0.10 with the TIBConnection component, but when I connect it sends me the message "Can not load default Firebird clients ("libfbclient.so.2.5.1" or "libgds.so" or "libfbembed.so.2.5"). Check your installation" I am using Lubuntu 20.04.

It might have something to do with you using Firebird 3 and TIBConnection looking for the Firebird 2.5 client library or the Fiirebird 2.5 embedded server. I don't know why it would do that, IBX always looks for libfbclient.so or libfbclient.so.2 first and only looks for the legacy embedded server libfbembed.so or libfbembed.so.2.5 if neither are available.

Hello, thanks to your answer I could find the solution, it was only necessary to create a symbolic link in my case this link.

sudo ln -s libfbclient.so.3.0.5 libfbclient.so.2.5.1

Now it seems to be working well.
