Hi all,
After doing pacman -Syu today I installed thunderbird with no errors.
But it crash when executing:
[marco@arch32 ~]$ thunderbird
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so:
libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
I made a blind attempt to fix by installing libffi.so.7 from AUR: the error changed in:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so:
libicui18n.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
but Thunderbird crashed anyway, so I removed that useless libffi.so.7 and stopped looking for other "random" solutions.
I understand that my solution was incorrect, but now I don't know what is the right thing to do....

Yes, reads like thuderbird needs a rebuild, but we'll have to see if that fixes execution or not.
Architecture: pentium4, Testing repos: Yes, Hardware: EeePC 901+2GB RAM+OS half on the SD card.

See https://bbs.archlinux32.org/viewtopic.p … 8530#p8530.
Thunderbird can currently not be rebuilt.

@abaumann installing libiffi33 as suggested did not resolve: the error returned is the same as installing libffi.so.7 from aur

Try also installing the icu68 shim package.
Apologies; brainfart. That should have been the icu47 shim package of course.

On a real i686 I get:
[1] Illegal instruction thunderbird (core dumped)
This sounds like a SSE2 problem, but on pentium4 it should work.
What architecture does pacman -Qi libffi33 show?

GREAT!
After installing libffi33 and icu67 thunderbird started working for me too!
My little HP Mini 110, born in 2010 is then still active and thanks you!
