Hi Daniel,
I couldn't get that macro's switches to work, I tried all sorts of combinations of --with-firebird and --with-firebird-libdir-name to get the script to see the Firebird libraries without success.
The Firebird header files are in /usr/include/ and the client libraries are in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
I tried:
--with-firebird
--with-firebird=yes
--with-firebird=yes --with-firebird-libdir-name=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
--with-firebird=/usr --with-firebird-libdir-name=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
--with-firebird-libdir-name=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
none of which worked. I don't know if there's a bug in the macro or if I was misunderstanding the instructions in the macro's header comments.
Anyway, I noted the macro defaulted to searching /usr/include and /usr/lib so I created symlinks for the client libraries:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfbclient.so /usr/lib/libfbclient.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfbembed.so /usr/lib/libfbembed.so
and that seems to have done the trick:
Compiled providers:
Berkeley DB = no
Berkeley DB SQL = no
FireBird (client)= yes
FireBird (embed)= yes
MDB (MS Access) = no
MySQL = no
Oracle = no
PostgreSQL = no
SQLite = yes (embedded)
SQLCipher = yes
JDBC = no
WEB = no
LDAP = no
Thanks again for your help.
Steve.

As for m4/firebird.m4 (you should read It), --with-firebird to automatically search the libs and headers. Because you follow standard procedure I hope this will be enough

I have installed Firebird2.5-classic, the client library, the embedded library and the dev files following the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.5
but the script still does not compile for Firebird.
If I use the find command to look for ibase.h it is in /usr/include
sudo find / -name ibase.h
/usr/include/ibase.h
so I think the dev files did install correctly.
Is there something I can tweak to make the script find the Firebird dev files?

You should install development package, in order to get Firebird pc file locatable by pkg-config. Then you'll see Firebird found and its provider compiled against.
