Thunderbird Lightning

English Applications

Good Evening,
I am trying to install the application in object but doesn’t work correctly.
There are requirements to fit before install as :
Linux
Software Requirements

Please note that Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.

* Linux kernel - 2.2.14 or higher with the following libraries or packages: OK
      o glibc 2.3.2 or higher OK
      o XFree86-3.3.6 or higher ??
      o gtk+2.0 or higher OK
      o fontconfig (also known as xft) OK
      o libstdc++5 ??
        (Many modern Linux distributions only package libstdc++6, which is incompatible with Lightning. Therefore please install the package "libstdc++5" or "compat-libstdc++" on your system before installing Lightning) ??

Most of requirements are ok except :
Xfree, don’t find it anywhere
libstdc++5, don’t find either, neither ++6 but ++43

Can anyone tell me if the application should work with SUSE 11.1 ?
Thank you so far

Fortunately, there is a 1-click-installer for the file under the software section. This should eliminate most, if not all, of the dependency issues you are experiencing. The following the link to download the 1-click-installer for OpenSUSE 11.1 and a simply step-by-step guide to installing the package in case you run into any trouble along the way. Simply follow the steps below:
