Either I am blind or I cannot find anything! Anybody out there where an install of Thunderbird worked? If so, how did you do it? Thanks in advance Ingo

Seems to work fine on 9.2 here once I told it not to 'import' anything from Netscape or Moz. The import wizard seemed to go into a loop creating gobs of something in the ~/.thunderbird directory. Took a Looong time to delete that directory and start over. 1) download Thunderbird 1.0 2) tar xzvf <path>/thunderbird<blah>.tar.gz 3) run it. Works fine.

I cannot find it now, either ??? You say it works as root but not as <user>. This would suggest that you have configuration problems in ~/.mozilla/<firebird>or<thunderbird> however the diorectory structure is.

Right, unistalled and installed again, tried the following procedure both with the tar.gz and rpm version. When logged in as root tb starts perfectly, if I link the shell script to the user and change permissions accordingly it crashes. Patrick Shanahan wrote:

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

If "." (current directory) is not in your path (and that's a Good Thing for reasons I won't go into right now) then typing COMMAND won't work even if you are in COMMAND's directory. You must either specify <full path to command>/COMMAND or in the directory where COMMAND lives, type ./COMMAND Like Patrick, although fruitlessly, has been trying to tell you a number of times. What also works is a symbolic link in one of the directories in your path like (I'm making a wild guess here :-)) /usr/local/bin cd /usr/local/bin (as root) ln -s ../thunderbird/thunderbird Now it will work everywhere Best regards, -- Jos van Kan

Thank you for explaining that so clearly - I actually got it!

Maybe. Sometimes the Pixies break bits off to spite travellers.

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

No, will not make any difference. 1. It is not necessary and a *bad* idea to *log* in as root. 2. kdesu gives you X access as root, much better plan than #1 above. 3. You can install rpms from the control line as: su -c rpm -<parameters> <program.rpm> and answer the password request. I would suggest reading and introduction to linux to familiarize yourself with the concepts and understanding of the methods utilized in maintaining a linux system. It would really help you to understand the why's and whatfor's we keep trying to explain. gud luk, -- 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

/usr/local/thunderbird is more than likely not in your PATH and does not lead to the executable. I do not use thunderbird, but there *probably* should be a link '/usr/bin/thunderbird' to the executable and it *should* be executable by *all*.
On a different note - is there another mail programme that enables me to share pop3 mails between linux and win?
I do not know why anyone would want to, but yes, with minor manipulation, mutt, kmail, mozilla, netscape and several other should. Looks like you are using mozilla now. It is/was capable of sharing with windoz. I have used mutt for so long now that I am not very familiar with the other clients (except a little kmail that my wife uses). I can just add soft links into my ~/mail/ directory and see/use other mailboxes, even to a vfat partition. -- 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

KMail works? That would be nice cos of Kontakt. But perhaps I rethink completely and concentrate instead on some networking solutions. I have the following set-up at home: suse samba server on broadband (no fixed IP) 2 x ancient laptops that are just capable of running win2k (win required cos of PCMCIA Wlan cards :-( Since I am on the road quite a lot as well I need the laptop to have a seemless data exchange with the server (emails and OOo documents). Now is that possible with KMail and a win email programme? Thanks a lot in advance - all your help is much appreciated!!! Ingo

If so, how did you do it?
when i switched over to linux from windows, i took my thunderbird profile with... the whole thing.. and i had a prolem that sounds similar to yours. so i dumped tb for kmail for a while... then i carefully removed my mail from the profile directories, and then deleted the whole ~/.thunderbird directory, and completely removed thunderbird as well. then i reinstalled thunderbird from the apt repositories (since it doesn't seem to come on the cds ... moan moan), and recreated all my mail accounts... and i've just spent yesterday and this morning copying all my mail across. but everything seems fine now. hope this helps. raoul.
