Debug NodeJS Applications with Eclipse – fix segmentation fault

Node.js is an evented javascript I/O framework using Googles V8 JavaScript engine. In the NodeJS wiki there is a good article on how to use Eclipse as Node Applications Debugger. When I tried it, node stoped with segmentation fault as soon as the debugger connected to the process. The fix is easy: set GCC_VERSION=44 before running make during node installation. Viola, it works perfectly.

Thunderbird 3.1 on Ubuntu Lucid

Ubuntu Lucid currently comes with Thunderbird 3.0.x, but Michael found a nice way to install Thunderbird 3.1 on Ubuntu Lucid:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install thunderbird

That’s it.
