[YLUG] beta eudora

[Nigel]

Hi

This is probably a dead simple thing as I am a linux newbie.

Since Eudora is going open source, I am trying to get Eudora running 
under Ubuntu, to create an easier transfer path for  eventually 
migrating all my computing from windows. I use Eudora extensively 
under windows, so I would like, eventually, to import my eudora 
mailboxes and address books into linux.

I got a beta version of eudora for linux at 
http://www.eudora.com/betas/. I followed instructions and did

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xvf <place where you downloaded the file>

which created a folder called eudora, with various files and 
subdirectories. I followed instructions and did

sudo ln -s /usr/local/eudora/eudora /usr/local/bin/eudora

[to be honest, I was amazed I got that far]

The instructions say I should now be able to type "eudora" at any 
command prompt, and the program should open. When I type eudora I get

/usr/local/eudora/run-mozilla.sh: 442: /usr/local/eudora/eudora-bin: not found

and the program does not open.

but when I look in /usr/local/eudora I can see eudora-bin sitting 
there. I also can't open eudora by running any of the obvious files 
in /usr/local/eudora

Any ideas what is going on?

Please phrase any help in a form a simpleton can understand, as I am 
unfamiliar with ubuntu and with command prompt syntax.

Many thanks
Nigel
