Well, I'm sure Dariusz will tell you where to get it from (did you
search on rpmbone?) but if you decide to compile it, you need to have
php-devel package installed and then download the php source tarball for
the version you have. Unpack it and then go to

ext/interbase

directory and run "phpize" there. It will create the "configure" script.
Now run it like this:

./configure --with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird

it will configure the build. If you get any errors, post here and we'll
try to help. After configure is done, run "make" and it will create
interbase.so file.
