I tried this (with or w/o issuing revSetDatbaseDriverPath); no luck. I'm using 
engine version 2.51G buildnumber 1. This same engine works perfectly on 
another server, strange isn't it?

I know, this is the way it worked before (on the other server). Could it be 
some permission problem? (I don't know how *.so files (drivers) are used in 
Linux. Do they need special permissions to be mounted or something like that 
(I'm a Linux newbie, please share your knowlege)?)
