Two formats are usually provided for the contributed builds, pkgadd and tarball. You can choose either one for your convenience. For pkgadd format, you need to run (as root): % bunzip *pkg.bz2 % pkgadd -d *pkg The binary will be installed to /opt/sfw directory. Then run /opt/sfw/bin/thunderbird as normal user should launch it. For tarball format, you just need to run (normal user is fine): % /usr/sfw/bin/gtar jxvf *.tar.bz2 Then run "./thunderbird/thunderbird" should start it. Hope this helpful, -Alfred
