IceDove mail client
Icedove is an opensource clone of Thunderbird. It provides the same features and installs fine on debian 7.4 with
sudo apt-get install icedove
This workaround solved the problem.
문제
I'm installing thunderbird 24.4.0 on Debian 7.4. A very easy install with which I had never any issue .. but on Debian I can't launch the application
The installation is as simple as downloading the correct binaries and making a symbolink link to the main executable in /usr/bin
so I downloaded and extract the tarball
sudo tar -xjf thunderbird-24.4.0.tar.bz2 -C /opt
Application stuff is located in [b]/opt/thunderbird[/b]
jeby6372@mercure:/opt/thunderbird$ ls
application.ini libmozalloc.so mozilla-xremote-client
blocklist.xml libmozsqlite3.so omni.ja
chrome libnspr4.so platform.ini
chrome.manifest libnss3.so plugin-container
components libnssckbi.so precomplete
crashreporter libnssdbm3.chk removed-files
crashreporter.ini libnssdbm3.so run-mozilla.sh
defaults libnssutil3.so searchplugins
dependentlibs.list libplc4.so Throbber-small.gif
extensions libplds4.so ***thunderbird***
icons libprldap60.so thunderbird-bin
isp libsmime3.so updater
libfreebl3.chk libsoftokn3.chk updater.ini
libfreebl3.so libsoftokn3.so update-settings.ini
libldap60.so libssl3.so
libldif60.so libxul.so
And as required in the documentation I create the symbolic link
sudo ln -s /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/bin/thunderbird
my PATH variable is:
jeby6372@mercure:/opt/thunderbird$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/sbin:/sbin
When I issue the startup command, it fails
jeby6372@mercure:~$ thunderbird
bash: /usr/bin/thunderbird: No such file or directory
jeby6372@mercure:~$
I don't understand what's wrong. The link seems correct too :
jeby6372@mercure:~$ file /usr/bin/thunderbird
/usr/bin/thunderbird: symbolic link to `/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
Thanks for your help in advance
