Installing Thunderbird 1.07
 

Hi all. AT the moment I'm attempt to install and run thunderbird. But I'm having a little trouble. For the last hour I've been running around the mozzila site looking for a walkthough on how to install the software. All I have found was to use the command "run thunderbird" but when I do so all I get it a run command error (I've cd into the folder).

Could anyone offer advice, I sort of loss for what I meant to do. Thanks in Advance.

cd into the dir where you extracted thunderbird to.

Then type

That should do it :)

By the way, what distribution are you using? Because some have packagemanagers which makes installing wery easy.

Fedora Core 4. I look for a RMP package but there seem to be none. I attempt the command you suggested but got this.

bash: ./: is a directory

I within the main directory? these are the files that came with tgz package

chrome libldap50.so libsmime3.so mozilla-xremote-client
components libmozjs.so libsoftokn3.chk README.txt
components.ini libnspr4.so libsoftokn3.so res
defaults libnss3.so libssl3.so run-mozilla.sh
extensions libnssckbi.so libxpcom_compat.so thunderbird
greprefs libplc4.so libxpcom.so thunderbird-bin
icons libplds4.so libxpistub.so xpicleanup
init.d libprldap50.so LICENSE.txt

Hi,

Go get the rpm for fedora Core 4 here:

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/...1.fc4.i386.rpm

Doubleclick it to install. Or if you prefer from a terminal type:

:)

Thankyou, it went sweet. Also by chance would anyone know where I could find a Java Runtime RPM package?

Your welcome.

You can download java here:

Grab the Linux RPM (self-extracting file)(filesize: 15.47 MB)

And read the instructions ' To install the Linux RPM (self-extracting) file '

Link to instructions here:

:)

All went good, Java is installed & Limewire is running sweet. For a fact Limewire is working better in linux then it does in windows. Thankyou again.
