Funambol used to work with Thunderbird. It now does not

[Robin Isaacs]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

On trying to reinstall Funambol I receive an incompatible extension error message. Until today all had worked without a problem! The full error message is:
""Funambol Mozilla Sync Client" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Thunderbird build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem"

I am using LinuxMint Release 6
Kernel Linux 2.6.27-7-generic

Hardware Memory: 375.5 MiB Processor AMD Athlon

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

I had the same issue after upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty.
Current package versions :
thunderbird 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.9.04.
lightning-extension 0.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu2

I got the same error message when trying to install the Funambol Thunderbird plugin "funambol_mozilla_sync_client-0.9.1-tb+sb-win.xpi".

I fallback to the previous version of the funambol plugin (v0.9.0) and I managed to install it and use it without problems.

This is because the version that's marked 'Linux' on the mozilla-plugin website is actually the Windows version. Download it from https://mozilla-plugin.forge.funambol.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=128&expandFolder=128&folderID=0 instead and it will install.
