theYinYeti Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 ./configure is the first step in compiling from source. What you downloaded is probably a binary package instead of a source package. So try this instead, in the directory where the .tar.gz is unpacked: ./thunderbird Yves.

bonebags Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 i just tried ./thunderbird and received the followering message ./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannotopen shared object file: No such file or directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) You must install the missing libstdc RPM. Assuming that urpmi is already set, simply do urpmi libstdc++6 But better do "urpmi mozilla-firefox" instead. This will install Firefox AND all missing dependencies.

bonebags Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 this is the error message i get. ive tried 3 different downloads from 3 different sites The following packages have bad signatures: /var/ftp/pub/Mandrakelinux/media/main3/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.2-2mdk.i586.rpm:Missing signature (Could not read lead bytes) Do you want to continue installation ?

bvc Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 i just tried ./thunderbird and received the followering message./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannotopen shared object file: No such file or directory <{POST_SNAPBACK}> root@xphost john]# urpmi libstdc++6The package(s) are already installed [root@xphost john]# urpmi mozilla-firefox The package(s) are already installed <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The tarball wants 5 not 6 urpmf libstdc++.so.5 will tell you what pkg has libstdc++.so.5 Bad SIG and can't install? That's a new one for me. Use rpmdrake and tell it to ignore the Bad SIG and install anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonebags Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 still no install???says unable to install all im trying to do is set up so i can use email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 You can use the --no-verify-rpm option at the command line which deactivates rpm signature checking. Note that it is a security risk if someone altered that package. But since I have seen that message myself a lot of times it's likely just the package managers bug. So the command is urpmi --no-verify-rpm mozilla-thunderbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
