Reading the SSS cd emails made me breakdown and finally download firebird. I'm glad I did, except I've having these problems with java. I'm using Red Hat 9 and the GTK2+ xft binary I got from mozilla firebird help place (texturizer or something like that). I have java (j2re1.4.1_03 from sun) working fine with mozilla but firebird doesn't like it. The plugin faq says if firebird was built with gcc 3.x than I need the blackdown java. I don't know how to find out which version of gcc was used to compile this binary, but I figured it was probably 3.x, so I went to jpackage.org and got all set up to access the apt-repository, I think. I imported the gpg key with rpm and gpg, I added these lines to my sources.list:
rpm [JPackage] ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage 1.5/generic free rpm-src [JPackage] ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage 1.5/generic free non-free rpm [JPackage] ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage 1.5/redhat-9 free rpm-src [JPackage] ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage 1.5/redhat-9 free and added the stuff they recommend to my vendors.list. Now what do I do? If I try apt-get install java it says the package is mentioned but not there. If I try apt-get install j2re it says I've got the latest version (indeed I have an rpm called j2re-1.4.1_03-fcs that I got from Sun). How do I get java to work with Firebird?
