The fix for this is to install libstdc++5and then reinstall Lightning. Close thunderbird and then in a terminal:
sudo apt-get remove lightning
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
sudo apt-get install lightning

Published by May 25th, 2008 in Uncategorized. 2 CommentsI had problems with MSN Messenger disconnecting or failing to connect when using a Netgear DG834G Router. Updating to the latest firmware on the router didn’t help but it turns out that updating to an earlier version did.
If anyone else has the same problem then try ‘upgrading’ the router firmware to version Version V3.01.25. This fixed it for me.

Using:
sudo gem install mysql
gave the error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb install mysql
checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for main() in -lm... yes
checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no

checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for main() in -lnsl... yes
checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
To fix:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev
Try again and all should be fine

National Campaign against ‘Anti-Terror’ Powers:
Month of Action in Oct-Nov 2007
Why this national campaign?
The government is planning yet more ‘anti-terrorism’ measures, which will go to Parliament in a new bill in October. This ‘anti-terror’ bill reinforces a trend beginning with the Terrorism Act 2000, whose broad definition of terrorism criminalised normal political activities, potentially on the basis of suspected ‘association’. This law was followed by three more in 2001, 2005, 2006; these multiplied extra police powers (e.g. glorification of terrorism), punishment without trial and treatment of ‘suspects’ as guilty, thus bypassing due process.
Together these laws have normalised detention without trial under various guises, such as control orders and immigration rules, whereby the accused never see the evidence against them.
This national campaign is bringing together many organisations and individuals involved in defending civil society against the politics of fear and insecurity unleashed by ‘anti-terror’ laws. The campaign includes civil liberties activists, migrant groups, religious groups, lawyers, journalists, academics, trade unions and environmental campaigners amongst others. We invite you to join the campaign.
The campaign will oppose all current anti-terror laws as well as their extension. This broad approach will help to involve everyone affected by those powers, could deter their use, and will provide extra reasons to oppose their extension.
Who is supporting this campaign?
The campaign is supported by a coalition of 20 organisations:
Peace & Progress; Scotland Against Criminalising Communities (SACC); Campaign Against Criminalising Communities (CAMPACC); Stop the War Coalition (STWC); Cageprisoners; Index on Censorship; Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF); Institute for Policy Research and Development (IPRD); Kurdish Federation UK; London Guantanamo Campaign (LGC); The Muslim Parliament; Tamil Centre for Human Rights; Tamil Campaign for Truth and Justice; Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC); Peace and Justice in East London; Centre for the Study of Terrorism (CFSOT); Panjaab National History Society; South Asia Solidarity Group(SASG); Justice not Vengeance(JNV) ; Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers; Baluch Human Rights Group.
