Which release is this, from where? What are you hoping to run it on?

Stick it in /opt and then create a sym link to /usr/bin. Then create
menu entry.

Why not just install it from the repos?? Usually, when you go other
places to get your software and it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
Tbird is working fine for me, straight from Ubuntu. No sweat. Ric

I suspect your problem is similar to the one I had - see recent thread:
"Thunderbird Upgrade - Should I?"


The best thing you can do is open a terminal and type the following
commands:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install thunderbird


This should give you the most up to date version

Then delete the (now superfluous) tarball

This is what was suggested to me in the above mentioned thread and has
worked well for me.


Cheers,

Graham

I know my reply could be categorized as a "Now, you tell me!" bit of
info, but in my defense I'm just now catching up with the list. Anyways,
Thunderbird 11.0.1 versions for Natty and Lucid are currently available
in their respective proposed repositories undergoing testing. According
to this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/
+bug/972840 "Thunderbird 11 stable release migration ", the packages will
be moved into the main repos sometime this week assuming all goes well
with testing.

Just like in "Apocalypse Now", never get out of the boat. The only thing
I have installed out side of the repos is Oracle Java. Now there is a
repo with a script that will get Oracle Java from Oracle and install it
correctly for you. No need to get out of the repo boat.
