How do I install Firebird 1.52 on Ubuntu?

[Johan van Zyl]

Hi Ubuntu

How do I install FireBird 1.52 on Ubuntu? http://www.firebirdsql.org
FireBird is now the most installed SQL backend in the world!
I need to supply my customer with an alternative to a Windows Server and
Clarion's TPS files as a database.
I would really like to use Ubuntu and Firebird but I cannot seem to find
instructions on how to install Firebird 1.52 on Ubuntu. Also see what Louis
has to say below.
Thx

Hi Johan

I guess it would be a good idea to contact shuttelworth's company for them
to re-compile for ubuntu and for them to join in with the firebird
development. They seem to really favor any open source suggestions and
developments.

Hi
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 can be installed by following these steps:

1. Enable universe repository (see www.ubuntuguide.org)
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."

I have tried all sorts of combinations - nothing works.

Thx
