   Hello,

   After a lot of updates: impossible to open Thunderbird.

   Error message in a terminal:

   cedric@R8:~$ thunderbird
   XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/thunderbird-17.0.11esr/libxpcom.so:
   libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
   Couldn't load XPCOM.
   cedric@R8:~$

   What's the problem?

   What CPU are you using. Could this be the same problem that I had.

   Hi,

   The laptop is an Asus Eee PC 900.
   I think that the processor is an Intel Celeron M 900MHz.

   You can determine if your CPU supports sse2 with this command:
   tux@slitaz:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -o sse2
sse2
sse2
   If yes it will output sse2 for each core of your cpu.
   Remove broken thunderbird-17.0.11esr from repos.
   tazpkg remove thunderbird
   Install new package thunderbird-bin-60.6.1 :
   tazpkg -gi thunderbird-bin

   Thunderbird-bin is mozilla built binary packaged for slitaz.
   Because it is not built from source and linked to slitaz libraries it shouldn't break when slitaz libraries are updated. Similar to firefox-official it has a built-in updater so it doesn't need to be updated by re-installing a newer version from slitaz repo.
   Block it in tazpkg so it doesn't nag you to update.
   tazpkg block thunderbird-bin

   If your cpu doesn't support sse2 I packaged and posted links to mozilla builds of thunderbird-17.0.11esr and firefox-17.0.11esr that will run here:

   Hi,

   Thank you for you answer.

   Yes, my cpu supports sse2.

   And Thunderbird is OK with your solution.

   I didn't know that I was using an old version of Thunderbird.

   But no more possible to have Thunderbird in another language than English?

   On the previous version, I installed the French language pack.

   I added thunderbird-bin-fr, it may take a while for it to be built and moved to a mirror.
