If you were running FreeBSD (another open-source unix), just do the
following:

`cd /usr/ports/databases/php5-interbase`
`make install`

Under Linux, just build PHP from source!
Download the php5 source tarball, and configure it with options needed for
your installation, including the following 'enable flag':

`./configure --enable-interbase=/opt/firebird` (or wherever your
distribution keeps your firebird installation)

This will(might) then break on a myriad of dependencies. Download everything
it needs, install them, and return to the configure stage.
Once it proceeds all the way through, run the make, make install as you
usually do.

Or, try FreeBSD on another machine, and use the two commands at the top :-)
