Description Pete Cervasio 2024-10-24 01:27:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
After installing Firebird 4 on Almalinux 9 for Raspberry Pi, running any of the various Firebird utilities such as isql-fb, gbak, or gstat results in error messages in the following form:

can't format message 17:3 -- message system code -8

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0.0.2496-2.el9

How reproducible:
Install firebird-4.0 on Almalinux  9 for Rasberry Pi using the steps below

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable epel per usual steps.
2. dnf install firebird firebird-doc firebird-utils
3. Run the 'isql-fb' command from a terminal session

Actual results:
$ isql-fb
can't format message 17:3 -- message system code -8
SQL> quit;
$

Expected results:
$ isql-fb
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL> quit;

Additional info:
I have this same setup on an x86-64 Almalinux 9 machine which works perfectly, and copying the firebird.msg file from that machine into the Pi5 makes it work properly as well.
