FireBird and Linux

[ToasteD]

Hi all I just downloaded Firebird and its nice but I would like to know where I can put it so that I can run firebird from the command line like i do with mozilla (example: open terminal and type mozilla)

the executable needs to be in your path. Most distros typically set the path to something like, PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/
Path is the list list of directories the shell will search when trying to run an executable file.



That's what mine looks like, just symlink the firebird executable into one of thos places, /usr/local/bin being the best canidate.

If you want to see your path, type 'set | grep "^PATH" '

When you install it, it should set itself in your path automatically.

The executable is mozilla-firebird or MozillaFirebird and it typically resides in /usr/bin
