At some point the firebird ebuild got changed so that isql does not get built anymore - only isql_static. In contract, both gbak and gbak_static gets built. I think this should be fixed. I think it happened when it got moved out of /opt Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge firebird 2. try to use isql Actual Results: # isql -su: isql: command not found Expected Results: # isql Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database SQL> quit; Unless there is a good reason not to build isql anymore, i think this should be fixed. For now, i can help myself by using a symlink, although this is not the same as a dynamically linked version of isql.
Check the messages from your firebird emerge (however you usually do it -- tool like elogv, or viewing the raw emerge logfile), you should find the following message: "The command line tool isql has been renamed to fbsql." So, do you have a dynamically linked fbsql?

Thanks for the information, i wasn't aware about that. Well, in that case, shouldn't isql_static be renamed to fbsql_static?
Reassigning to maintainer-needed since wltjr has left Gentoo, bug #135927.
Why should isql_static be renamed to fbsql_static? Check bug 198388
This his been address in 2.5 where the static linked stuff is no longer installed. Can probably close bug, but since this is not resolved in 2.0.3 or 2.1.3 will leave open for now.
Time to stabilize latest?
Yes I would like to see 2.5.1 stabilized and we can punt older versions, they are not slotted. Though maybe I should slot the package some day.
the affected versions were dropped long time ago
