Thunderbird problems on FC4

[Euan Maxwell]

Hi there,

I'm having problems with thunderbird on FC4.  If I try to launch it, it
just dies after a few seconds.

[root at rmac init.d]# rpm -q thunderbird
thunderbird-1.0.2-6

an strace of it running shows that it is looking for files in this directory:

[root at rmac init.d]# pwd
/usr/lib/thunderbird-1.0.2/init.d

yet, all I have in there is a README file.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail.

Here is an excerpt from the strace, any ideas would be much appreciated.

Euan.
