Install problem --> Requires additional items

[peter...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have installed the add-on and it shows up in the list of add-ons
with a red "!" and the message "Requires Additional Items"

I tried to up-date the version but no luck.

Any suggestions what I need to add?

Thanks much in advance,

CA

Which versions do you have installed?

Provider 0.4 fits to Lightning 0.8.
Provider 0.5pre fits to Lightning 0.9pre

If you have been using Lighting/Sunbird for a while (i.e since 0.5 or
so), please try reinstalling Lightning/Sunbird (full reinstall!)

Hi Philipp,

Thanks for speedy reply. Right after I sent my request I thought I
should have said more.

I had tried that and then after I received your mail I downloaded the
newest versions of both (Tbird and Sunbird) and uninstalled and
installed the new versions with no change.

I have windows XP Pro sp2 and XP media center, I am getting the same
situation on 2 computers.

Still the same message and no pull down option under "File -> New ->"

I am all ears...and thumbs :-)

Thanks again,

Craig

I SOLVED THIS ISSUE:

Please take a look of Software Requirements
* Linux kernel - 2.2.14 or higher with the following libraries or
packages:
o glibc 2.3.2 or higher
o XFree86-3.3.6 or higher
o gtk+2.0 or higher
o fontconfig (also known as xft)
o libstdc++5
(Many modern Linux distributions only package libstdc++6,
which is incompatible with Lightning. Therefore please install the
package "libstdc++5" or "compat-libstdc++" on your system before
installing Lightning)


1) In my case i needed libstdc++5

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5


2)
Lightning 0.7 only allows read mode, so i uninstalled it and installed
version 0.8.

Download from here

3)
Now you can install the Provider for Google Calendar.
