Implementation of text subtype 3 not located.

You might get this error after you install Firebird on a Linux system which contains a previous installation of ICU library. Most notably, this might happen on CentOS systems.

The solution is to remove the system ICU and install Firebird again. This will make Firebird use it's own ICU library instead of the system's one.

In case you have other software that needs ICU, you have two options:

1. compile Firebird yourself so that it is compatible with systems library

2. download source of the ICU version that Firebird uses and build it and then build the software that depends on it. In this case you will be able to use Firebird binaries without compiling.
