Thunderbird calendar missing [SOLVED]

I've compiled Thunderbird, but even when I've compiled Lightning, the calendar is missing, and the buttons for adding new events are greyed out. The interface is there whether I enable Lightning or not.

What am I missing?

If I install thunderbird-bin, no problem, but I'm hoping to use the compiled version so I can use my use flags.

You can always just manually install the plugin youself. Tools->Plugin-ins->get plugins.
But, then again, you probly already knew that ;)

Thanks, arbuckle.

This is interesting. I have Lightning in my extensions, so I decided to uninstall it, download it and install it again, manually. So I uninstalled it and restarted Thunderbird to make sure it was gone - and lo and behold was my old calendar.

I had actually restored a backup to a fresh install of Thunderbird. I don't know what happened, but I'm guessing my Thunderbird folder had calendar info that needed an overlapping install of Lightning removed. Then again, that last sentence could be gobbledegook. :-P
