Hello List,
I installed Fedora 7 and tried to install Thunderbird Email client
but it will not run on Fedora 7. At least I didn't get it to.

Your comment isn't actually all that helpful in determining why it
doesn't work. Was the install an upgrade from an earlier version of FC
or did you do an initial install? Did any warning messages appear while
you were installing the software? Did you follow the directions that
popped up on the screen the first time you invoked Thunderbird? When you
kick off Thunderbird, does it dump core, just quit, catch fire... what?
Just for giggles, try invoking "/usr/bin/thunderbird" from an Xterm and
then check the Xterm for error messages after it dies... and then post
'em here if you want help in fixing the problem.

Computers run on smoke. I know this because when the smoke escapes, the box
quits working.
I'm trying to install Thunderbird 2.0 on this Fedora 7 Linux. When I tar
xvfz the download package in the directory is a thunderbird. I tried to
start that as I do all the time on Fedora Core 4 and I get this:
isp libsmime3.so mozilla-xremote-client
libfreebl3.chk libsoftokn3.chk README.txt
[karl@localhost thunderbird]$ ./thunderbird
./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
[karl@localhost thunderbird]$
It can't find libstdc++.so.5
I tried %/usr/bin/fedora and it said no such file
[karl@localhost ~]$ work/thunderbird/thunderbird
work/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[karl@localhost ~]$
[karl@localhost ~]$ whereis libstdc++.so.5
libstdc++.so: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
[karl@localhost ~]$
So if Thunderbird is looking for xxx.so.5 it will not find it. Seems to
me I did some sim links once to fix this stupid problem
