I found the solution today thanks to [this Ruby fb report](https://github.com/rowland/fb/issues/22): This installation requires the Xcode comamnd-line tools. Just run this to install them:

    xcode-select --install

Once that finished, I was able to build and install DBD::Firebird it without issue.

Best,

David
