Hehe, there is always a way :)
Here ya go!
rm -f /tmp/lister /tmp/lister1 ; for file in `ldd
/usr/lib64/thunderbird-3.0/thunderbird-bin | awk '{print $1}'` ; do sudo
yum whatprovides $file 2> /dev/null | egrep "i386|i686" >> /tmp/lister ;
done ; sort -u -o /tmp/lister /tmp/lister ; awk '{print $1}' /tmp/lister
> /tmp/lister1 ; sudo yum install `cat /tmp/lister1`
It works, but adds some stuff not strictly necessary for running Tbird
generically. And, its not pretty! :)
Good luck!
