or......

put the libstdc/glibc... in the /usr/local/firebird/lib....

export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/firebird lib... and run the system
if the fb_inet_server is started by inetd, then make a "wrapper" like this
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/firebird/lib
exec /usr/local/firebird/bin/fb_inet_server


or......
edit the /etc/ld.so.conf and
add
/usr/local/firebird/lib


after a command:
ldconfig would rebuild the ld.so search logic....


NOTES..............................

I supose that the firebird is installed in /usr/local/firebird....

if not, change the path according...
