Problems installing the IBX component

Greetings

    I have tried to run the IBX component in versions 2.6, 2.5 and
2.4, they compile without any problems, but when I start the Lazarus
IDE it shows me the following error:

     IBX is unable to locate or otherwise load Firebird Library.
Object reference is Nil

     When installing version 2.3 of said component I did not
experience any problems.

    I am using Lazarus 2.2.6 in a 64-bit version, on Windows 11. I
must note that I have two Firberid servers installed on the computer,
versions 3 and 4 but 32-bit. In the Windows environment variables I
have the paths of both versions of Firebird

    I thank you in advance for the support you can give me.

a 64 bit Windows?
You can just install 64 bit Firebird and access it from a 32 bit
application (because the 32bit driver is installed too).

With the 32 bit version of Firebird there is no 64 bit client
installed.
So you can't access it from your 64 bit application.

So either install the complete 64 bit server of Firebird of install a
64 bit client of Firebird driver.

I installed Lazarus for 32 bits, which solved the problem, but now it
tells me that the supported ODS version is 12.2 and not 13, I thought
these components allowed me to work with Firebird 4

They do. But the ods error is from you accessing a firebird 4 database
with the firebird 3 server.

So use the port for your firebird 4 server and it should work.
You said you had both fb 3 and 4 installed on your system.
They should be on different ports.

Indeed, this is how I have it configured and I indicate to the
component the correct port according to the server, but I already
found the error, indicate 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and if it
made the connection

Thank you very much for your support
