A simple derivation is given of equilibrium equations in flux coordinates in the general case of an anisotropic-pressure plasma. The issue of how to formulate the boundary conditions for these equations is discussed for two types of configurations-a straight system and a system with an internal conductor. Examples of numerical solutions to the equilibrium problem for these configurations are presented.
