Ubuntu, Thunderbird 3.1.15, Lightning, Google calendar

After update on my Ubuntu 10.04, Thunderbird version was updated and Lightning extension become incompatible. Official extension site provide Lightning for Thunderbird 7 only. No link to "Older version" :).

Solution:
I used this builds for Lighting and Google calendar provider:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.2/linux-xpi/
you can investigate http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/ for more stable versions.

just for logs, here instructions how to setup lightning and google calendar:

Install Lightning addon first from Tool>Addons menu item. For 64 bit use this link.

Please switch off Autoupdate for Plugins: Edit -Preferences-Advanced-"Automatically check for updates", update will brake the compatibility.
