Mozilla Thunderbird under Linux compatibility?

[David Gerard]

I'm trying to run a current Thunderbird build for Linux under compatibility. 
It's quitting with:

fun at diva:~ $ ./thunderbird/thunderbird
./thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: 
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
fun at diva:~ $

I have installed linux_base-6.1, linux_base-6.1_1 and linux_base-7.1_3. The 
last of these was enough to make Mozilla Firebird work properly ...

Anyone else gotten Thunderbird to work?

(I'd just use Mozilla 1.4 or 1.5a except that I can't run that and Firebird 
simultaneously ...)
