I know this is easy for Linux experts. Novice programmers this note will be helpful. You can find enough informations to install and  run the application in Fedora without any problem. But how to add the entry to "Application" menu to fast access the application.
  1. login as a admin, ex: su -
  2. go to the /usr/share/applications
  3. create a file with the desktop extention, eg: gedit squirrel.desktop
  4. write a shortcut
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=SQuirrel
Comment=SQuirrel Client
Exec=/opt/squirrel-sql-3.2.0/./squirrel-sql.sh
Icon=/opt/squirrel-sql-3.2.0/icons/acorn.png
Terminal=false

Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true
Now you are ready to access the squirrel client via "Applications->Programming"
