Can't install WordPerfect 8 on SuSE 8.2
When I try to run the installer, it says: ./install.wp: line 362: linux/ins/wpinstg: Unkown file or directory While that file does exist. When I run it directly, I get: bash: ./wpinstg: Unkown file or directory What is happening??? How can it say that the file I'm trying to run doesn't exist while I even completed it with TAB? Thanks in advance, Z

Is the cdrom mounted with "execute" permissions? I remember this being an issue with the WP8 installation in the past. Of course, this may also be a "code rot" issue. -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions

Try copying the disk to your hard drive first. Then install from there. Harry

Did you install the shlibs5 rpm from your SuSE cds? You will need those to run WP8 on the newer distros. These are the old libs needed to run the old programs not supported now. Once you have those libs installed, WP8 should start right from the WP8 cd as user. If you only have the downloaded version, then it should be accessible from the shell.

Thanks a lot, after installing the shlibs5 rpm, the installer worked immediatly. That error was pretty weird though. Maybe it would be possible for SuSE to fix that. Op vrijdag 9 mei 2003 02:12, schreef O'Smith:
