If someone wants to run a nightly version of Thunderbird (say 3.1.1pre) in 64 bit F13 where the nightly builds are only for 32 bit - then it is not so easy! If you can give a one line command to pull in all the correct 32 bit libraries needed for that scenario I would be most interested in seeing it. -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
