Article #25727: ***ERROR*** /usr/interbase existing on the system. Aborting Install

Problem:
Attempting to install InterBase 5.5 for SCO Open Server 5.0 
and receive the following error message:

***ERROR***
/usr/interbase existing on the system. 
Aborting Install


Solution:
This error message occurs during installation when the directory  /usr/interbase  is detected
 and it is determined that the  /usr/interbase  does not belong to InterBase 5.5.

You can either move /usr/interbase  (mv /usr/interbase /usr/interbase.old), or, after
saving any files you do not want deleted to another directory, you can delete
the directory /usr/interbase  (rm -rf /usr/interbase).

Another attempt to install InterBase 5.5 should succeed.
