Description Bas de Bakker 2006-03-27 05:53:02 UTC

When I try to install the mozTrayBiff (version 1.2.1-tb1.5) extension from moztraybiff.mozdev.org (http://downloads.mozdev.org/moztraybiff/mozTrayBiff-1.2.1-tb1.5.xpi), I get a popup with the message:

"New Mail Icon" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Mail/News build type (Linux_unknownABI). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.

Apparently the Gentoo thunderbird installation does not know its ABI to choose the correct shared library to use. I used to have no problems installing this extension when I still ran an x86 Gentoo installation, so it seems to be architecture specific.

The extension is only for x86 and knows nothing about the amd64 ABI upstream already knows about the problem and is working to correct the problem.

Comment 2 Jory A. Pratt 2006-03-27 08:24:36 UTC

after digging deeper I have confirmed that the abi is not being set to x86_64-gcc-* like it should be doing. I am working on the issue at the moment and will hope to have it done up in a short time.

Comment 3 Jory A. Pratt 2006-04-25 16:19:58 UTC

ABI has already been fixed.
