Re: [firebird-support] Install Firebird SS in Ubuntu Linux by apt-get or tar.gz /install.sh

I've made best experience with the native tar.gz, as there are no 
external dependencies aside of a recent glibc.

cheers, marcus

 1. Install by apt-get
 or
 2. Download the file FirebirdSS-2.5.2.26539-0.i686.tar.gz

 Which option do you recommend?

Option 2 for Ubuntu, unreservedly.  My experiences with the Firebird packages 
in the Deb/Ub repository were just full of hassles, even just trying to get 
hold of everything that comes in a native Firebird installation and then 
trying to find where things have been installed.  

The tarball install, on the other hand, is a piece of cake on any Linux.
