I wanted to try Thunderbird 3.3a2 so I downloaded it from the Thunderbird Website. I extracted it and tried to run both files. However I am getting file can not be executed error.

amey@amey-desktop:~/Documents/thunderbird$ ./thunderbird
exec: 398: ./thunderbird-bin: not found
amey@amey-desktop:~/Documents/thunderbird$ ls -lart thunderbird*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 amey amey 48220 2010-01-01 13:30 thunderbird-bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 amey amey  3920 2010-01-01 13:30 thunderbird
amey@amey-desktop:~/Documents/thunderbird$ ls -lart run-mozilla.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 amey amey 10597 2010-01-01 13:30 run-mozilla.sh

What am I missing? I did also try giving full permission(777) to all three files, still no luck. Tried using sudo too.

  • I can't seem to reproduce this, perhaps your download was corrupted? Have you tried redownloading?

  • I checked the same in my virtualbox guest. It worked fine. Seems that there is some problem with my ubuntu setup.
