The same problem has been seen on FreeBSD 4.8 STABLE. (see the forum
'thunderbird bugs, posted on 28 Jul 2003, title 'libeditor.so: Undefined symbol')

What does this have to do with the _browser_?

Comment 3

[Sven Lanckmans]

There's no 'build' component in Thunderbird Product and all the bugs relevant
to startup problems were pointing to the options I took. Sorry if this caused
any confusion. (also, I get the same error when I do dist/bin/run-mozilla.sh)

I have the same problem on SuSe 7.2 (gcc 2.95.3).
The problems exist for Mozilla 1.5a, 1.5b and CVS.

gcc 3.2.3 produce workable result.

I have this too.  SuSE 8.0 with XFree86 4.3 GarGnome KDE 3.1.4 Linux 2.6-test6.
 I am using the official 1.5 source.  That isn't good.  Especialy since I am
trying to make a mng patch for MNGzilla...

Try running the installer.  Works for me, but maybe not for Thunderbird.  

Comment 7

[MDonoughe]

sorry, I ran the wrong mozilla-installer and installed a prebuilt version. 
running the installer doesn't resolve the symbols.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
