He’s about done, so I wanted to test it. I installed FirebirdSS-2.5.2-26540-0-x86_64 on my Mac (10.9 “Mavericks”) and tried to
build DBD::Firebird. Alas, it can’t find the framework:

Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::Firebird ()

chmod 644 Firebird.bs

rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBD/Firebird/Firebird.bundle

env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector -framework Firebird
Firebird.o dbdimp.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/Firebird/Firebird.bundle>>

The -framework switch above is telling the linker to search for the firebird framework, which would normally be installed in
/Library/Frameworks...
Has he installed a copy of Firebird for MacOSX?
