fedora 0.95 and mozilla firebird

[Rafael Ferreira]

Does anyone knows what is the easier way to get firebird installed on
core 0.95? yeah yeah I could compile it but I would rather not, I like
being able to easily rpm something out of my system.

Thanks!

All you have to do is:

tar zxvf MozillaFirebird-0.7-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz -C /usr/local

ln -s /usr/local/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird \
  /usr/local/bin/MozillaFirebird

and you're off to the races.  no compiling necessary.

You can install Dag's RPM package with MozillaFirebird. I'am using it
under Shrike and it is just fine. RPM should work under Fedora.

You can also grab a .spec file for building your own package.
