Hello

Today I emerged Firebird and I found this problem
If I run Firebird as root, everything works OK but it's not working with normal user. After ps -aux all proceses are running, but window does not appear?

any ideas?

thanks

It is working with binary ebuild, but this is not what I want

How can I install, let say Java VM, for normal user?

i had a similar problem, after i decided to download and install some of the extensions. all of the sudden, firebird wouldn't display the window anymore as a normal user. unmerging firebird, and then deleting /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird, and emerging mozilla-firebird again did the trick for me. that wasn't the only problem i have encountered either, but it doesn't bother me, since i know that firebird is still under development (that's why the ebuilds are definitly masked). look's really great though

im excited about where firebird is heading...

Firebird sticks the extensions in the /usr/lib/ firebird directory. You can either chmod 777 -R /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird or change the group of the dir to include write support for your users group.

@Deftochino

I did it your way and it's working everything (extensions also!?) now .
This binary package realy sucks, Firebird is much faster now

Thanks for all help
