Getting firebird to work under OSX with Delphi Firemonkey app

Does anyone know of a guide to getting Firebird working under OSX for Delphi apps?

I am using the InterBase Express components but when I start my app I get the error saying that libgds.dylib is missing. I have renamed the libfbclient.dylib to libgds.dylib. I have even made a copy in the original path and done a symbolic link to the /usr/local/lib folder (as is the case with libfbclient.dylib). Here is what I have tried...

  1. I have added '/usr/local/lib' to the paths in the target profile.
  2. I have tried copying the file into the package
  3. I have copied the file to my windows machine and then distribute it using the project deployment options.

Nothing appears to work. I'm not trying to create a redistributable package at this point. I just want to get the app working for debug.

One further bit of information. I installed the standard Firebird package rather than the Lipo package. I confess to not really understanding the difference. I am going to try installing the Lipo package now to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance, Martin

Solution found. The problem was the package that I installed. After installing the Lipo package it appeared to find the dylib and continue.

Im not there yet as now I am getting a Permission Denied error trying to create the database in the Documents folder. I guess I will post another question if I cant get to the bottom of this one.
