here we go: 1. add the lines of my unstable archive to your sources.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~asac/unstable ./ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~asac/unstable ./ 1a. apt-get update (aptitude update) 2. get sources: apt-get source thunderbird 3. install build essentials: aptitude install build-essential 4. switch to the source directory (cd thunderbird-1.5.0.5) 5. run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot It will fail naming missing build dependencies. Install those packages too, until the package starts to build fine. 6. the build will fail at the end because you don't have my key. This is no problem 7. install all debs: dpkg -i thunderbird*1.5.0.5-2*deb 8. run thunderbird with debug: thunderbird --debug (gdb) run 9. as soon as it crashes, use: (gdb) bt to print a good backtrace, like (see the source files and lines mentioned). 10. post that one. If I need more information, I will let you know. Thanks! deb On Sat, Aug 19, 2006 at 10:02:17AM +0200, Leszek Koltunski wrote: > > Sure, no problem.
