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:
This is not recommended. If possible install the version of thunderbird supported by Fedora 7. If you have an high speed internet connection run: # su -c 'yum install thunderbird' (when prompted for the passed, enter your root password). If you are unable to run yum, try downloading the RPM directly: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/thunderbird-2.0.0.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm Install: # su -c 'rpm -ivh thunderbird-2.0.0.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm' By doing this Thunderbird will show up in the menu's and can better integrate with Fedora.

Seems to me I did some sim links once to fix this stupid problem
This is unnecessary if you use the Fedora version. Since the version provided from Mozilla is compiled differently it requires a compatibility library: 'compat-libstdc++-33'. This can be installed via yum like above, or if you must, you can also download and install manually. -Mauriat
