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.
