hmm life in debian is better :) i can use apt ("This APT has Super Cow
Powers.")

apt-get firebird2-super-server and it should download and install firebird

ps: usually have firebird installed from source (on my debian sid
workstation)
I found today how to work with php adodb
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/PHP-Application-Development-With-ADODB-part-1/9/
nice for porting one project from mysql - > firebird ;-) or working with
