The problem seems to be that firebird2's API has changed a bit from
version 1.5 and specifically the "struct vary" is not defined anymore.
I've installed Firebird2 RC5 and corrected the compilation problem (it
will soon be in CVS) but I haven't tested it with a real Firebird2
server... If you test it, please report any bug and/or strange
behaviour.
