Hi Mike,
Thanks for this. I followed your instructions, but now I get this:
haelen@haelen-desktop:~$ songbird
cd: 2: can't cd to /etc/Songbird/Songbird_20070913/
/usr/bin/songbird: 3: ./Songbird: not found
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim
for some reason, your computer is having trouble changing directories (cd) to the songbird files.
first, I would try 'sudo songbird' and then enter your password. If it is the same error, we can eliminate a permissions problem.
second, I would try copying all the commands again. It will go through all the steps again, just to make sure nothing went wrong.
let me know how this works for you

Hi Mike,
I tried all the steps again and I still get the same error. I already tried 'sudo songbird' before I contacted you with the first comment - do dice.
Thanks,
Tim
what happens when you manually run
cd /etc/Songbird/Songbird_20070913/
same error? if not, then type
./Songbird
(thats exactly what the little script I wrote does, just changes directories and runs the file)
Hi Mike.
"No such file or directory"
Best,
Tim
did you get any errors when you run all the commands?
OK,
The following doesn't produce and errors - neither does Songbird fire up though:
haelen@haelen-desktop:/etc/Songbird_20070913$ cd
haelen@haelen-desktop:~$ cd /etc/Songbird_20070913
haelen@haelen-desktop:/etc/Songbird_20070913$ ./Songbird
haelen@haelen-desktop:/etc/Songbird_20070913$
thats strange.. try running it now, I updated it for the latest 'blessed' build. I have no clue what the problem might be.
