Gears on 64 bit GNU/Linux

I have been enticed to install Gears by the offline support in Gmail, Google Reader and Wordpress, but was unable to easily find a current build to install. To save people trawling through the net, I have listed the builds available here.

The files are linked as XPI files, so a simple click on the links below should bring up the install dialogue. I will update this post as new versions come out.

gears-linux-x86_64-opt-05210.xpi (Current as of 18/05/09)
gears-linux-opt-05110.xpi (2/Feb/09)
gears-linux-opt-0.4.9.0.xpi (27/Jul/08)
gears-linux-opt-0.3.25.0.xpi (18/Jun/08)
gears-linux-opt-0.3.8.0.xpi (07/Mar/08)

I found this via Issue 335, and the latest build works like a charm.

Cheers!

Works like a charm, except for one thing... when the plugin starts downloading, it lists the file size as 4 gigabytes. I started freaking out, and I got halfway to realizing that Firefox doesn't have a method of canceling plugin downloads, before I realized that it had already finished installing, so the file size must have been wrong.

I just wanted to say thanks. I have some recent outages to my internet connection. I use Google Docs for all my school work and needed to work on a paper I was writing. This will likely save my butt. I appreciate the work.

Even though it works like a charm, I received the following message after installation: "Google Gears" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox build type (Linux_x86_64-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.

Thank you sooooooooooo much! Works perfectly on Ubuntu Jaunty x64, kernel 2.6.28-12.

After installing there is an error message, but everything seems to work... (at least the things i have tried...)
