Extract them to a directory (e.g. /usr/lib/odbc/ in debian), and edit
the odbc configuration files in /etc.

In my case:

/etc/odbcinst.ini:
[Firebird]
Description = IBPhoenix Firebird ODBC Driver
Driver = /usr/lib/odbc/OdbcJdbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/odbc/OdbcJdbcS.so
FileUsage = 1
CPTimeout =
CPReuse =

/etc/odbc.ini
[your_data_source_name]
Description = Firebird
Driver = Firebird
Dbname = servername:/path/to/your_dbfile.gdb
User = username
Password = password
Role =
CharacterSet =
ReadOnly = No
NoWait = No

If you use the ODBCConfig utility, you can set it up all graphically, as
in windoze ;)

Yves
