I’m a long time Slackware user of Firebird, and don’t find that any of this is needed. Here’s how I do it:
1. unpack the firebird…tgz package.
2. ./install.sh
If you run Classic Server – that’s it, install is complete (just make sure inetd is running). If you run Super Server, you can easily start the server like this:
/opt/firebird/bin/fbmgr -start -forever
If you wan’t it to start everytime you boot up, simply add that line to /etc/rc.d/rc.M or /etc/rc.d/rc.local
