I'm running firebird fine on gentoo. Here are some simple steps that I
documented while getting firebird (super server) up and running. I'm
also using firebird pure jdbc to access from the same pc and network.

firebird sql server

#emerge dev-db/firebird

..when done, there is a message asking you to do the following :

#ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/firebird-xxx/firebird-xxx.ebuild config

To add /etc/init.d/firebird script to start at default run-level
- the following syntax is obtained after reading man rc-update
#rc-update add firebird default

firebird tables, can be placed anywhere, but needs to be chown to user
firebird:firebird

!! Very important : configure /etc/firebird/firebird.conf
firebird.conf :
TempDirectories => need to point to a directory with firebird user r/w
access.
