Hi,

thanks for your investigating :)

i've run an debian 6.0.6 on i386 and install the lastest firebird-1.5 
from http://firebirdsql.org/
because libdbi-driver depends on old include files (gds.h, etc). but you 
can use the tarball only
to compile and use the server from debian repository.

i 've never had problems to install an firebird server on debian, it 
works always out of the box.

the server is: firebird2.5-classic
