Google Calendar / Google Apps integration with Thunderbird, seems to be a simple task to accomplish don't you think?

This is the second or third time this has happened to me therefore I thought I'd share this with you guys!

Well, I had an experience with one of my colleges today having to install Thunderbird + Lightning + Google Provider on Ubutnu 9.04 and I tell you it wasn't that straight forward.

The recipe is supposed to be quite simple if you want an external calendar in your Thunderbird you need lightning, if you want to integrate a Gmail calendar with your Thunderbird you need Google Provider.

Ok so as part of the installation process at Tikal we need a few rpm & apt-get packadges in order to install ALM, I recentlly added a small repository of collected rpms for rl5 (RHEL5 / CentOs5) - is is accessible via http://tux.tikalk.com/tikal-repos/rl5/ which is now on a test site - but is checked an working

As of now ther are only Pel prms which are used as Bugzilla installation prequiesets.

In order to test-run / enable this repository on a RedHat / CnetOs system perform the following tasks:

create a file called: tikal.repo under the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/

[my machine]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/tikal.repo

copy 'n' paste the following lines:

[tikal]
baseurtl=http://tux.tikalk.com/tikal-repos/rl5
enabled=1

you can also have enabled=0 but if you want to install from the repository yoiu will have to run the following command:

If you try to decomple using jad on ubuntu

And you get:

" error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

 type this:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
