I never tried with 2.1.0, but I have it working with 2.0.1.

Looks like isql doesn't 'see' your libfbembed.so.2 file. When you
declare the env. variables:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/milanb/fbembed
export FIREBIRD=/home/milanb/fbembed

those are local to the current shell you're running. So make sure that
you run subsequent commands in the same terminal.

libfbembed is obvously there, so I assume that is the problem: you
probably set the env. variables in one terminal and ran isql in another.
