Lightning: New Install Problem

Post by Kennebel »

. Fedora 7
. Thunderbird 2.0.0.12
. Lightning 0.8

I "install" the add-on, shows up normally. Restart thunderbird, the new side panels show up. The option, "New->Calendar" is grayed out. When in the calendar option (which shows the hours of the day), the "New Event" and "New Task" buttons are grayed out. The error console spews a whole heap of errors. (which do not occur when the lightning extension is disabled)

Is there something else i should be doing?

Sample of error console messages (just from start up, not even hit any buttons yet):
Error: [Exception... "Invalid ClassID or ContractID" nsresult: "0x80570017 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CID)" location: "JS frame :: file:///home/jeremy/.thunderbird/13bgrh9p.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/components/calItemModule.js :: initBaseComponent :: line 67" data: no]

Hi, you need to install libstdc++5 (package name compat-libstdc++ something) first. Install Lightning again afterwards.

SUCCESS!

Excellent, thank you very much! I guess i must have missed the package pre-reqs while i was downloading the extension.

Ok, I read the post here and tried that fix with no success. Installed the files and reinstalled newest version of lightning. The calendar options are still all grey and I am unable to do anything with the calendar. Any thoughts??
