and running the db demo (tested on ubuntu jaunty but it should work on intrepid too)
I assume firebird2.1 installed also the devel related packages
I use the snapshot usually (I use the webkit for arora) but you can download an more stable package from qtsoftware
http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/preview-qt-4.5
git clone --depth 1 git://labs.trolltech.com/qt-snapshot
export PATH="/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.0/bin:$PATH"
cd qt-snapshot
git pull
ln -s /usr/lib/libfbclient.so.2.1.1 /usr/lib/libgds.so
./configure -no-accessibility -no-exceptions -no-qt3support -nomake examples -nomake demos -plugin-sql-ibase -v
make && sudo make install
i use qt-creator to open an demo for sql

open the sqlbrowser.pro from
qt-snapshot/demos/sqlbrowser
Compile it and press run
driver QIBASE
then fill the db name with
/var/lib/firebird/2.1/data/employee.fdb
