Comment 33 for bug 641056

RESOLVED - thunderbird getting wrong ELF CLASS 64 on libgvfsdbus.so
- First, the above was due to my installing the non-Lightning version of Thunderbird, which lacked proper 64 bit support
- I restored my original Thunderbird 3.1.8 (not .6 after all) installation, and started it on the command line directly. It was not suffering the ELF CLASS64 problem. This means it was the correct Lightning version (for 64 bit).
- I remembered for safety I had moved ~/.thunderbird to ~/dot.thunderbird, and copied it back as ~/.thunderbird when the patched VMware Server 2.0 was causing the whole O/S to become unstable including running apps like Firefox and Thunderbird
- Thinking there might be a hard symbolic link or something that was not preserved in my copying, I moved dot.thunderbird to .thunderbird, and magically, Thunderbird loaded correctly, and my email is restored.
Sorry for the noise,
Regards,
Matthew
