Hi,

I've been trying to get Firebird to run on FreeBSD for the past few
weeks. After downloading the FreeBSD Kit from the ibphoenix website,
I encountered a "semget" error. The members of this egroup informed
me that the BSD kernel needed to be re-compiled to support sempahores
for Firebird.

My problem now is that my host provider refuses to recompile the
kernel, which I understand. I can't get a refund for the hosting
services, and to make matters worse, I pre-paid an annual
subscription. The hosting company also won't allow me to apply the
payments I have made to another hosting package (Linux) where I know
Firebird will work. Basically, I'm stuck with my FreeBSD hosting
package for at least a year.

Since I can't recompile the FreeBSD kernel, is there anyway I can
tweak and recompile Firebird to run on my host provider's version of
FreeBSD?

Please help...
