Thunderbird fails to execute

All:

Not much unlike a particularly terrible romantic comedy starring Matthew McConogay, Thunderbird fails to launch.

Here's the code, quick and dirty:

Code:

[Alpo@alpo-computer /]$ ~/thunderbird/thunderbird

/home/Alpo/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Alpo@alpo-computer /]$ ls /usr/lib64 | grep libdbus

libdbus-glib-1.so

libdbus-glib-1.so.2

libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0

[Alpo@alpo-computer /]$ echo $PATH

/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/Alpo/bin:/usr/lib64

Any ideas?

This is a shot in the dark, but could Thunderbird be looking for the 32-bit version of the file?

Welp, I feel like a moron. That worked like a charm. Thanks, Frankbell.
