Installing the Driver on Linux

Pavel Cisar

There are two prerequisites for installing the ODBC/JDBC driver on Linux:

  • The “unixODBC” package must be installed

  • Firebird must be installed, initially at least, for testing the installation

Unpacking the Files

The ODBC/JDBC driver packages for Linux are gzipped tar files.After gunzip they should be processed by tar, or you can rename them to .tar.gz and use a tool such as Midnight Commander to unpack them.
