Language packs (optional)
64-bit compatibility
Trustedbird is currently only built for the i386 architecture (32-bit). Current packages have been tested successfully on 64-bit systems (Debian Lenny amd64, Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 and Windows 7 64-bit) with 32-bit libraries.
In order to run Trustedbird on 64-bit Linux systems, you must install the 32-bit compatibility package.
With Debian/Ubuntu, install the ia32-libs-gtk package:
# apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk
As Trustedbird Debian package is for the i386 architecture, you must force the installation on the amd64 architecture:
# dpkg -i --force-architecture trustedbird_x.y.z_i686.deb
