How do I install Firebird 1.52 on Ubuntu?
Classic or Super?

I found this about Firebird on
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21618.html

Firebird 1.5.1 can be installed by following these steps:

1. Enable universe repository (see http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories )

2. $ apt-get install firebird2-classic-server (or firebird2-super-server,
according to your needs, see Firebird web)
3. $ apt-get install firebird2-utils-classic

Then you can use the isql-fb app to create/connect to a database and execute
SQL queries.

If you need php4 support, execute
4. $ apt-get install php4-interbase

See www.firebirdsql.org for tutorials and documentation.

alternative to debian way firebird 1.5.2 can be installed from tar.gz

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/...1-0.i686.tar.gz
extract it, run installer

ps:
found another Debian guide http://jclement.ca/docs/firebird_de...irebird-debian/
also firebird 1.5.2 will be packaged as deb
