Hi,

quite recently I got the problem that I couldn't start thunderbird anymore. I get the following error message
Code:

mb@xyrio ~/thunderbird $ ./thunderbird-bin
./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libldap50.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
mb@xyrio ~/thunderbird $ ls -l libldap50.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 mb users 174036 17. Mär 13:57 libldap50.so


The lib is obviously in the current directory. This looks like an easy problem but I don't have a clue,

try to run
Code:
ldd ./thunderbird-bin
to see where he's actually looking for this file ?

Hi,

unfortunately, that doesn't give any clues :(
Code:

mb@xyrio ~/thunderbird $ ldd thunderbird-bin
   -- snip --
        libldap50.so => not found
        libprldap50.so => not found
    -- snip --


Edit:
copying the files to a location which actually appears in this list ( /usr/lib/mozilla) doesn't help either

hmm, try to emerge openldap ?

do you actually use LDAP features ? if not an easy fix would probably be to re-emerge thunderbird with USE="-ldap" in front :)

Hi,

well I dont use anything, but I am using the thunderbird-bin package / the tar.gz directly from mozilla.org.
I wonder why I can't use it, I mean I just unzipped it and it doesn't work, which I think is strange for a precompiled app
