    Installing The New Thunderbird Beta

    Since I had to fresh install F15, I was thinking about using the new Thunderbird beta. This is the command plus the error I receive.

    Code:
    ./thunderbird
    ./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I know that I need to install these libraries but yum is yielding nothing, does anyone have any suggestions?

    Try using the yum provides command:
    yum provides \*/libdbus-glib-1.so.2

    dbus-glib-0.92-2.fc15.x86_64 : GLib bindings for D-Bus
    Repo : fedora
    Matched from:
    Filename : /usr/lib64/libdbus-glib-1.so.2

    dbus-glib-0.92-2.fc15.i686 : GLib bindings for D-Bus
    Repo : fedora
    Matched from:
    Filename : /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2
    You probably have Fedora 15 x86_64 but installed the 32bit Thunderbird Beta, so you had the 64bit package for dbus-glib but lacked the 32bit version of dbus-glib

    so try:
    yum install dbus-glib.i686

    Re: Installing The New Thunderbird Beta

    Well I have made progress, yum picked up the package this time (I tried it before and got nothing, maybe misspelled it) then I got another error and installed that package but now I have a 3rd package which yum says I have the latest version of libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

    Ok I think I got it, either I'm losing my mind (possible) or yum is messing with me (not as possible) anyway thanks for the replies, I will post again if I do get it installed.

    If you're on a 64 bit system, you have to install a few i686 libraries. I've forgotten which ones I needed, but eventually, using yum provides, I got it to run.

    I had to install libXt.i686 and dbus-glib.i686 to get it working on my 64 bit XFCE spin.
