Have you got the correct client library installed on the RedHat box?
The driver will have been built against firebird and you'll probably 
have to install Firebird do get the client library. Whether it will 
work with a remote interbase server is unknown, at least to me. And 
likewise, I don't know whether it will work if it tries to load an 
InterBase version of gds32.

Failing that, the latest code base for v2 of the driver has better 
compilation support for InterBase. You may be able to get better 
results by installing a Linux version of IB6 and then building the 
driver against that. (Or even build Fb 1.0 - that is more or less 100% 
compatible with IB6).
