Could it be I got a faulty rpm?
Maybe. Sometimes the Pixies break bits off to spite travellers.
My successful installation consists of:
1) D'load ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/MozillaThunderbird-0.8-5.2.i586.rpm MozillaThunderbird-0.8-5.2.i586.rpm Any mirror will do, that just happens to be a UK one I like.
2) # rpm -Uvh MozillaThunderbird-0.8-5.2.i586.rpm
3) SuSEconfig
4) exit rootshell - don't run graphical programmes as root, particularly things like mail clients and web browsers. It's not safe.
4) $ thunderbird
Programme starts faultlessly. HTH Fergus
Thanks Fergus, I've now tried TB 0.8-5.2, 1.0-0.1 and 1.0-2 rpms and all of them have this segmentation thing. I installed them from kdesu konqueror which up to now has successfully installed every single rpm I wanted. I am curious as to what is happening and I won't run graphical programmes as root again - promise... I shall now try to install the rpms logged in as root rather than use kdesu konqueror. Perhaps that helps. Thanks for your advice Ingo
