IBPP library has no support for dynamic linking on Linux, so I had to
statically link it to some FB client library, and I choose FB 1.5 at
that time.

Recently I released a new version (1.70) that is linked against
fbclient.2, so it will work with FB 2.0 and 2.1. Download is here:

I recommend all Linux users to build FBExport from sources. FBExport has
almost no dependencies (all you need is C++ compiler and Firebird client
library - and IBPP is integrated in the source), so compiling is as easy
as unpacking the source package file and typing 'make'.
