That's not the best idea, as libstdc++.so.6 is not backward compatible
with libstdc++.so.5. The right thing to do is to find and install
libstdc++.so.5.

Anyway, that's not the real problem. As he *compiled* firebird, it links
to the correct .so file it found on the system, and the error message
cleanly shows that it "cannot open" the file.
