Ok, I've been wanting to try out Thunderbird for a while, because I really liked Mozilla's mail client when I used it previously. However, since I commandeered this Gentoo box at work, I haven't been able to use either. When I 'emerge mozilla' it gives me version 1.3, not 1.4 and doesn't have the mail client integrated. 'emerge mozilla-thunderbird' wouldn't work either -- probably because I have to add something to my repository list (like the apt-sources for debian). But I don't know how to do that in gentoo.
Anyways, I finally broke down, googled a bit and found some portage directories online for net-mail/mozilla-thunderbird[1], copied them manually into my /usr/portage tree, then reran 'emerge mozilla-thunderbird'. 2.5 hours later it had finished compiling with no apparent problems. But now I try to actually run it and I have problems: $ MozillaThunderbird $ That's it, no error messages, but no application either. I try 'MozillaThunderbird --help' and see the following usage line: Usage: /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/thunderbird-bin [ options ... ] [URL] Ok, so I try that usage and what do I see? Errors! $ /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/thunderbird-bin /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/thunderbird-bin: relocation error: /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/thunderbird-bin: undefined symbol: _ZTI24nsASingleFragmentCString Anyone have any idea what's going wrong here? What do I need to fix?
