Compilation error when installing interbase php extension

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

I am trying to install php interbase extension with RUN apt-get update && docker-php-ext-install interbase. However I get this error on build:

In file included from /usr/src/php/ext/interbase/interbase.c:35:0:
/usr/src/php/ext/interbase/php_ibase_includes.h:24:19: fatal error: ibase.h: No such file or directory
 #include <ibase.h>
                   ^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:181: recipe for target 'interbase.lo' failed
make: *** [interbase.lo] Error 1
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get update && docker-php-ext-install interbase' returned a non-zero code: 2

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can resolve this? I need to access a firebird database.

This is my docker file:

I am getting the same error on a Linux.
@megnicholas did you manage to solve this issue?

I’m having a similar problem trying to install interbase on php7.4-fpm image, the only way I found was using a Ubuntu image, that fixed, I was able to execute apt install interbase normally.
