It seemed happy enough running right from the directory I unpacked it in, /usr/src/thunderbird. So I got the rpm above, nuked the unpack directory the tarball made and installed the rpm & ran ldconfig, but it won't run, either from an icon I made, or from the command line, returning to the cli prompt in about 1/2 second with no reported errors. What gives? The end of the strace shows this: ---------------- open("/root/.thunderbird/init.d/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE| O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/thunderbird-1.0/init.d/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK| O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 getdents64(3, /* 3 entries */, 4096) = 80 getdents64(3, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0 close(3) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 stat64("/root/.thunderbird/init.d/K*", 0xbfffee70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 stat64("/usr/lib/thunderbird-1.0/init.d/K*", 0xbfffee70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 exit_group(127) = ? ------------------- So obviously the rpm didn't init the init.d directory properly.
