I have been trying to install thunderbird mail client on fedora core 5 but i could not.
i have downloaded the recent linux version, thunderbird-1.5.0.8.tar.gz
1. i downloaded the tgz and unzipped and uncompressed
2. it is in a folder called thunderbird in /usr/
3. according to manual, the file thunderbird should run
4. if i type in thunderbird in konsole, it still does not run
5. i have made sure thunderbird has execute permission but still does not work
Any help is appreciated.
