After installing firebird, I tried the preprocessor located at /opt/firebird/bin/gpre but it is not executable by "world". Since this is a developer tool, it should be executable by anyone on the system. Is: ls -l /opt/firebird/bin/gpre -r-xr-x--- 1 firebird firebird 459984 Jan 2 11:56 /opt/firebird/bin/gpre Should be: ls -l /opt/firebird/bin/gpre -r-xr-xr-x 1 firebird firebird 459984 Jan 2 11:56 /opt/firebird/bin/gpre
Resolved in 1.5.4-r1, it's executable in 2.0.1. Not locked down as much as 1.5.4 just yet.
