Incorrectly linked libjaybird22.so and libjaybird22_64.so with Jaybird 2.2.0 on Linux (x86-32 and x86-64)
The libjaybird22.so (Linux x86) and libjaybird22_64.so (Linux x64)
included in the Jaybird 2.2.0 download are incorrectly linked (libstdc++
and libdl are missing from the symbol table).
This manifests itself when the native or embedded protocol is used
(jdbc:firebirdsql:native or jdbc:firebirdsql:embedded). The resulting
error is UnsatisfiedLinkError occurs in libjaybird22_x64.so undefined
symbol: _ZTVN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoE
This error does not occur on all systems (eg my Ubuntu 11.10 systems
with the OpenJDK-6 and OpenJDK-7 from the Ubuntu-repository don’t have
this error).
Correctly linked versions of libjaybird are attached to
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-259
The next release of Jaybird will include correctly linked versions of
this library (release date is not yet known).

Test your knowledge about Firebird
What is “the” Firebird package to use today? FDB? pyFirebirdSQL? kInterbasDB?
Short answer is FDB
The difference between FDB and kInterbasDB is explained here
It’s old and unmaintained , all effort is on FDB driver and it is backward compatible with kInterbasDB
Now between FDB and FirebirdSQL , from what i know pyFirebirdSQL is pure python so it can work without any other so/dll installed and it can be used for example in places where there is no Firebird client installed (think of android python script)
