Hello!

I'm struggling to install this gem. I have already installed the firebird-devel and firebird-client packages, but despite that, a fatal error: ibase.h: No such file or directory is being thrown during the install process.

Is it possible to point out the absolute path to ibase.h in my host at the gem install moment?

on fedora path seems to be

/usr/include/firebird/ibase.h

Thanks @mariuz! But how do I have to provide the ibase.h path? Is there a special option to pass along with the gem install command?

I created a symbolic link pointing to the location where the ibase.h is located on Ubuntu. After that, the installation could be completed and it's all working now.
