crox: Using the HL-340 USB-serial adapter with Linux (1a86:7523, driver ch341)

With the new 2.6.26 kernel you don't need to change anything, it's already there.

crox: Lightning for x86_64 Linux (amd64)

"Linux_x86-gcc3" -> looks like you have a 32-bit version of Thunderbird. You should be fine with the XPI from mozilla.org, else you could try the "fix by logics", see link in comment #3.1.1.1.1.

Running the latest version of Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (20080421) on an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz

Tried installing all of the Lightning xpi's above.

For each one I get:

"Lightning" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Thunderbird build type (Linux_x86-gcc3)."

Tried compiling per instructions above but exited with plenty of errors.

There are many more errors than this but this is where things go south for me:

Insights anyone?

Thanks.

Hello,

I just found that one on the mozilla.org ftp: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/0.8/contrib/linux-x86_64/lightning-0.8.linux-x86_64.xpi

It's working for me, so I won't compile it myself this time :o)

I found the new version 0.8 of Lightning in this post on Ubuntu Forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4675948&postcount=6

Now it's working up-to-date again.

I've compiled lightning from the source as explained above, with the same flags, and still get the same error when installing the .xpi

I have an AMD64 Athlon X2

Don't know what to do....

Thanks!

Any chance of just getting the calendar project to just start producing x86_64 binaries? All core 2 chips from Intel support the isa so it does represent the majority of new computer systems sold.

Another thanks from those of us who didn't/couldn't build it. It works fine (earlier versions forced me to Sunbird). Thanks!!

Wow - I spend months trying to find a version for x86_64, then three come along at once!

crox's version works for me, so I didn't get as far as trying the other two.

Thanks all!

I've made a build for 0.7 and placed it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/66358246/lightning-0.7-tb-linux-x86_64.xpi.html

It's working great for me. Hopefully it will for you too.

Mine is here : http://blog.crox.net/uploads/lightning-0.7-x86_64.xpi

I'm preparing a new post for Lightning 0.7, don't know yet when it'll be ready though...
