Firebird 3.0 and perl DBD::Firebird

  • 772

I tried to connect to my firebird 3.0 server on ubuntu 18.04 from a perl script.

I could not install "cpan -f -i DBD::Firebird", header files were not found.

Does anyone know were to find "ibase.h"?

18.04

  1. After investigating a while I found that include files are missing and have to be installed from firebird source.

    Download the firebird 3.0 source from https://firebirdsql.org/ and copy all files from /opt/firebird/include to /usr/include

    You should also create a new symlink

    ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfbclient.so.3.0.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfbclient.so
