The weird language is Rebol, and it was last discussed on this list in
2002. The same restrictions apply .. the only way to interface with
Firebird is on windows 32 using ODBC. There is no native support on
Linux hence my stab at using Wine ... which very nearly works. There
are Linux mysql and postgresql drivers though.

However, from that thread there is this suggestion:

"Forget about direct connection and use the standard way - call
functions from gds32.dll (libgdslib.so).

So, maybe I need to look into this if I can find documentation
suitable for me.
