I wanted to try out Thunderbird but couldn't get it to install.
What is wrong? Program not running? Shell reports that can't find program?

You can't run a program from the directory it's in. That seems to be a UNIX no-no. Back up one directory, and run the command with /directory/install...etc. I know it's goofy, but that's UNIX--and Linux. In this case, the "directory" is /username.
You don't have to change to another directory. you just have to precede the name with "./". It's a security thing, that makes it more difficult for malware to do damage. It's easy to bypass, by modifying your path. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
