Naturally I have no idea what this really means, or what if anything
can be done about it.
***Is*** there anything that can be done about it? If so, what?
Please keep it simple and explicit, if you would be so kind. I need a
*recipe* --- "Do this, and then this, and then this ...." I
understand a fair bit of Linux jargon, but there is a *HUGE* amount
that I don't understand, so please phrase things in a way that a
non-techie might be able to follow.
Well, unfortunately, mozilla only supplies the 32-bit version of T-Bird
on their website and you're running 64-Bit Fedora 17. You could make
the 32-bit version run....but that would take effort.
Best to download the 64-bit version from here....
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/
or
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/linux-x86_64/en-GB/
if you prefer "British English". :-)
Then all you need to do is un-tar the file and execute the thunderbird
executable in that directory. No need to move any files.
Nearly there I think. I downloaded the second tarball (I *do* prefer
British English) and unpacked it; I cd-ed to the resulting thunderbird
directory and executed ./thunderbird. The program started OK --- I am
now using it (i.e. I am using thunderbird 24.6.0) --- but I got a message:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so:
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
Don't know what the nppdf.so bizzo is about, and things *seem* to be
running OK, but getting messages I don't understand makes me nervous.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what the nppdf.so thing does, and how I
can get one of the correct "ELF class"? Presumably this is the 32 bit
vs. 64 bit dichotomy showing up again.
Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
