I had the same problem.
Find and install the Install the "flex" RPM. You may hit
some dependency problems as you do it, theyy need to be
solved too.

Alternatively I can make available to you my interbase.so,
or I can post it in some public area indicated by you.

I compiled my interbase.so under Fedora C2 and PHP 4.3.5. I
tried 4.3.6 but it failed so I decided to be happy with
what worked. I believe it should work under RH 9. The size
is 128KB uncompressed.
