LIBRARY MANUAL SPECIFICATION ERROR:
  The user-specified database header file directory
    /opt/firebird/include
  does not exist.
  Try modifying the 'database_include_dir' option in
  the 'manual_config' section of the setup config file (setup.cfg),
  or comment out that option to force this script to
  to autodetect it.

Summary says it all. Firebird moved from /opt to /usr. It may be a bigger
problem than it seems since I can't get my hands on any of the firebird.h or
fb_*.h headers in /usr/include either.

Copying the src/include directory from the source archive to /opt/firebird
seems to fix the problem, but I'm sure somebody can find a sligthly less crude
solution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kinterbasdb
2. watch the fireworks

Created an attachment (id=137852) [details]
fixed ebuild for kinterbasdb

Seems there actually is firebird headers in /usr/include. A trivial fix was
enough to make it works again.

Yarr, just location of headers moved.

Finally fixed. Thanks.
