The problem is that if Firebird is not installed from the repository, then its libraries are not registered in the OS.
Therefore, ibx does not see them.
For example, in ubuntu, the problem is solved like this:
- specifying the path (/opt/firebird/lib/) to the fb libraries in /etc/ld.so. conf
- update the library cache - sudo ldconfig
But it seems to me that ibx should also be more accurate.
It shouldn't kill the entire IDE. For example, it should still be possible to uninstall ibx...
