Thanks, I had seen this before but it didn't work for me, at least first.

I then removed the 1.5 install which is what Ubuntu installs (if one
uses Add/Remove Applications) and then downloaded
FirebirdSS-2.0.1.12855.0.i686 and used the instructions given in the
above blob entry.

Yes, it would be very nice, especially for new comers to Ubuntu/Linux
like me.
