Nope, afraid not. I wish it were so. And just so you can convince yourself:
ingo@dicker:~/.mozilla/thunderbird> thunderbird --help bash: thunderbird: command not found ingo@dicker:~/.mozilla/thunderbird> ls 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
BUT... ~/.mozilla/thunderbird/thunderbird is *not* in your path. Without giving a directory/path to the executable, no_matter_where the not_in_the_path executable will *not* be found. In the case "convince yourself": ./thunderbird --help would have worked. But this is not the way to build/maintain your system. There are specific reasons to put files in certain places rather than all over the place. And you, apparently not familiar with proper linux directory and path structure, should use something that follows that structure for you, ie: rpm. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
