Installation on MacOSX is extremely simple:
As SU, download the compressed pkg kit to a convenient location and decompress it
Click on the pkg file to kick off the installation.
Follow the instructions (choose disk, enter SU password) and you are done.
MacOSX has no uninstall utility but the following script will clean up Firebird installs on Leopard. It should work on Tiger as well.
#!/bin/sh echo "Clean Services" echo "Clean User" dscl localhost -delete /Local/Default/Users/firebird echo "Clean Group" dscl localhost -delete /Local/Default/Groups/firebird if [ -f "/Library/StartupItems/Firebird" ]; then echo "Remove SuperServer StartupItem" rm -fr /Library/StartupItems/Firebird fi if [ -f "/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.firebird.gds.plist" ]; then echo "Remove Launchd" launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.firebird.gds.plist rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.firebird.gds.plist fi echo "Remove Framework" rm -fr /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework echo "Remove Receipt" rm -fr /Library/Receipts/Firebird*.pkg
