Description Andreas Bierfert 2006-02-13 14:32:40 UTC
[03:35 PM][awjb@alkaid ~]$ rpm -q thunderbird
thunderbird-1.5-3

When trying to install enigmail I get this error:
"Enigmail" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your
Thunderbird build type (Linux_unknownABI).

Comment 1 Christopher Aillon 2006-03-01 18:31:28 UTC
Is this just enigmail?  I think the problem is that enigmail installs
pre-compiled object files (gcc 3.x?) which probably aren't compatible with the
gcc ABI we ship with.

Comment 2 Andreas Bierfert 2006-03-02 08:42:52 UTC
Hm others are doing ok (like the provides langpack stuff) so I guess that could
be  because of precompiled stuff... Now with this new version is there an easy
way to package extension in FE e.g.?

Taking off blocker list...

Comment 4 Christopher Aillon 2006-03-02 19:58:18 UTC
It's not as good as I'd like yet, but basically stick the extension into
$THUNDERBIRD_DIR/extensions.  It should just work.  Only problem is that it will
be a pain with upgrading thunderbird...

Closing NOTABUG I suppose, since I'm not sure what else we could do.

Comment 5 Andreas Bierfert 2006-03-02 21:13:18 UTC
Ok thanks... will see if I can get a package together ...
