What do I need to make Lightning work with thunderbird

[Mark Pyles]

Hi everyone:

I have been having the absolute worst time with trying to get lightning 
0.9 to work with thunderbird 2.0.0.19. I am using Ubuntu 8.04(gnome 
desktop) on a Dell Inspiron 1525 and don't know what I need to use 
lightning. Does it require access to some outside calendar? If so, which 
one? It does not work as a stand alone. I cannot use the calendar and 
none of the buttons on the toolbar such as Day, Week, MultiWeek, Month, 
etc work or do anything at all when I click on them. Am I missing 
something? Is there something else that I need to make lightning work 
the way it is supposed to? Thank you.
