Downloading and installing Thunderbird

Prerequisites:

• Thunderbird uses the GTK open-source windowing toolkit on both PA and

Integrity, which you must install before installing Thunderbird. Note: Without

the GTK toolkit at /opt/gtk2.6 installed, you may see the message "Unable to

find library 'libgtk-x11-2.0.so'".

• Mandatory patch for HP PA-RISC 2.0 (11.11). You must install patch PHSS_33033

to use Thunderbird. This patch prevents hangs with 100% CPU utilization.

Installing the kit:

1. Login as root.

2. Make sure you have installed the appropriate version of the GTK (see above).

3. Please make sure an older version of Thunderbird is not running on the system

before starting the new installation. Thunderbird installs under /opt/

thunderbird. A new version installs over an older version. To keep an older

version, copy or rename the older version to another location before you begin the

installation of the new version.

During installation, any system-wide changes done to the config files at /opt/

thunderbird are overwritten. However, user specific configurations at $HOME/

.mozilla are not affected.

Only files from the original Thunderbird installation are overwritten.

4. To download the .depot file, you need approximately 27 MB of disk space

(PA-RISC); 49 MB (Integrity); 50 MB (Source Code). To install the software from

the .depot file, you need an additional 60 MB disk space (PA-RISC); 100 MB

(Integrity and Source Code). The download file runs on both Workstations and

Servers. After installing the software, you can remove the .depot file. Download

the software into a location with adequate space. We'll use the directory /tmp in

our example.

5. To verify that the file downloaded correctly, at the UNIX prompt run the command

md5sum <filename>. If the file downloaded correctly, the checksum number
