Portage doesn't seem to put Firebird into /usr/bin after emerging...
Try:
| Code: |
cd /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/
|
There is a script called run-mozilla and (in theory) MozillaFirebird.
After I ran both it seemed to put the executable into /usr/bin and now it works 
If you do:
afterwards you can find any file on your computer with;
It uses super-fast hash tables so it instantly finds things - great for tracking down stray files. |

MozillaFirebird is in the /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird....same as Mozilla (if you ever install it.) There is a reasoning behind it but I cant tell you what it is or where I have seen it before.
I had trouble the first time getting MozillaFirebird to run when I upgraded from 6.1 to 7.0. It seems all the stuff is there but for some reason the command does not work unless you use the full path /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird.
What i did, was I unmerged the old version and reinstalled MozillaFirebird 7.0 and now the command works. Probably would not recommend that for everyone as there is prob a work around....this just worked for me and I have time to spare
So I am guessing that for some systems the upgrade from one version to the next breaks the ability to use the single MozillaFirebird command |
