There are probably two ways that should work, but honestly I have not
tried the ld.so.conf one but it should in theory work as it does with
normal libraries, the link to /usr/lib does work...you can simply
make a link to it in /usr/lib

ln -s /opt/interbase/lib/ib_util /usr/lib/ib_util

or in theory edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add /opt/interbase/lib to the
list of paths.

The link is acceptable to me as I use a few larger libraries as
apposed to a lot of smaller ones.

One more way should be to add
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/interbase/lib
to either your earlier startup scripts for any version or the script
you are running the SS version of firebird/interbase from
