Ola Joao,

If you search for libstdc++.so.* what you get ???

[root@server root]# find / -name "libstdc++.so.*"
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.1
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2

[root@server root]# cd /usr/lib
[root@server lib]# ls -l libstdc++.so.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Dec 11 21:02 libstdc++.so.2.7.2
-> libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1025344 May 30 2002 libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Dec 11 21:02 libstdc++.so.2.8 ->
libstdc++.so.2.8.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 375776 May 30 2002 libstdc++.so.2.8.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 11 21:02 libstdc++.so.2.9 ->
libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5428 May 30 2002 libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Dec 11 20:30 libstdc++.so.5 ->
libstdc++.so.5.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4181584 Sep 4 2002 libstdc++.so.5.0.1
[root@server lib]#

libstdc++.so.5.0.1 is provided by package
libstdc++-3.2-7.i386.rpm

I don't know if it will work, but you can try to crete a symlink between
your version of libstdc++ to libstdc++.so.5.

I have installed firebird 1.0 on Redhat 6.x 7.x and on 8.x without
problems. The results above are from an 8.x install.
