Thunderbird not starting: libssl3.so missing & how to install

Hello,

Just started using slitaz 4.0 recently and think it's superb. I did have Thunderbird working but today it stopped. I believe this is as a result of installing Flash.

I tried to run Thunderbird from the terminal and got a message saying "libssl3.so: version 'NSS_3.13.2' not found"

I found somewhere I can download it from (http://pkgs.org/download/libssl3.so) but I'm unsure which type i.e. Debian or what? If I do download it where do I place it, in usr/lib?

Is there another way to do this through tazpanel for example?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Thunderbird not starting: libssl3.so missing & how to install

Mr k,

[*]Search for libssl3.so file in the 4.0: http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=libssl3.so&version=s

[*]Seems like you need package named nss. Click "nss" link to download package.

[*]Go to folder where your package, double click it, enter root password, press "Install".

------ or ------------------------

[*]Search libssl3.so as above

[*]To install "nss" package: open terminal, type [c]su[/c] and enter root password; type next command: [c]tazpkg -gi nss[/c]

------ or ------------------------

[*]Search libssl3.so as above

[*]Enter TazPanel using root login and password

[*]Go to "Packages", enter "nss" to search field, press enter, click link "nss", press "Install" button.

I hope, nss package will solve your problem, because I don't use Thunderbird.

Re: Thunderbird not starting: libssl3.so missing & how to install

So I thought I'd worked it out:

booted slitaz from cd, found the file and copied it to my home directory, re-booted, copied the libssl3.so file to usr/lib and ran thunderbird.

No! Same message:

"XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/lib/thunderbird/libxpcom.so:

/usr/lib/libssl3.so: version 'NSS_3.13.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so)

Couldn't load XPCOM."

What next?

Also, why can't I copy / paste from / to xterminal?

Thanks.

Re: Thunderbird not starting: libssl3.so missing & how to install

Thanks for quick reply Aleksej. I searched for nss in packages and I have nss but it's version 3.13.3 and Thunderbird wants version 3.13.2.

I did a brief internet search and the links / info seem quite in-depth.

How can I remove version 3.13.3 and install 3.13.2? I need this pretty quick as Thunderbird is my email client.

Is it easier just to re-install entire system? But then this might happen again. What about uninstalling Flash (as I think this caused the problem)? Is it definitely the nss version or is it that I've put the libssl3.so in the wrong place?

Lots of questions - sorry!

Re: Thunderbird not starting: libssl3.so missing & how to install

OK solved! Just realised that the packages showing in tazpanel with a green arrow are not necessarily installed.

So, I installed version 3.13.3 from tazpanel and thunderbird is working again.

Thanks for your help!
