thunderbird/thunderbird: No such file or directory is not true
I unpacked the thunderbird tarball to ~/Builds I then executed 'Builds/thunderbird/thunderbird' and received:
bash: Builds/thunderbird/thunderbird: No such file or directory
I'm running debian 7.8. I checked the list of libraries on which thunderbird depends. All are installed. I executed 'head Build/thunderbird/thunderbird' and noted the first three characters were ELF. I tried 'file Build/thunderbird/thunderbird' and received:
Builds/thunderbird/thunderbird: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=0x30e7fc4b0e46e863f89e31432a959f6bb949a7b1, stripped
This all puts the lie to the error message.

it is bash saying the file is not there. What can anyone here do about how bash works or does not work?
It looks like you are trying to run 32-bit Thunderbird on 64-bit Linux as they only list the 32-bit version on https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/all.html
Here is the 64-bit en-US Thunderbird 31.4.0 http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/31.4.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/thunderbird-31.4.0.tar.bz2
If you prefer another language. http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/31.4.0/linux-x86_64/

there is a reason to use repositories... but I will not repeat it again.
