thunderbird 13 - libxul.so is not found

[netnomad]

hi bmarkus,

i get the error message:

tc@box:~$ thunderbird
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /tmp/tcloop/thunderbird/usr/local/thunderbird/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

... also libxul.so is in the mentioned directory!?

can you reproduce this error?

Thunderbird13 works fine here. Try to update your dependency list and download missing dependencies.

hi bmarkus,

i downloaded it a second time and now everthing works flawless.

actually i already updated the deps and checked the md5sums,
but nevertheless there were problems that now disappeared.
... now everything is fine.

hi bmarkus,

after a reboot some hours later,
i experienced the same problem again.
so there is still something like a personal problem or a common bug...

hi bmarkus,

when i tce-load -i thunderbird as my first program, then this problem still exists, .
if i load icecat before thunderbird, then i have no problems at all with thunderbird 13.0

that means that icecat provides what thunderbird 13.0 is still missing.

i provide you the messages, when thunderbird cannot start:
tc@box:~$ thunderbird
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /tmp/tcloop/thunderbird/usr/local/thunderbird/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

then i load icecat and thunderbird starts without problems and these messages:
tc@box:~$ thunderbird

Hi,

thanks for noting. Install xulrunner.tcz (Mozilla runtime package) which is missing from the dep list, I will correct.
