RE: [SLE] Corel - some good news for a change
as I said, the script failed to execute properly :( I'll remove the wine I installed from the SuSE disks & try again. I ghave a feeling installing wine a few weeks back broke my IBM TopPage setup too since it has been refusing to run since.

Hmmmm , That makes me wonder. does corel install a seperate version of wine for each version of there products that you install , or does it use the same wine version that it installed previosly , and just add a new confuguration file ?

Good question. This one clearly has a Winelib of its own, which makes me think it'll use that instead of any other. That's bad, but as this Winelib is clearly better than the one which comes with Office2000 (or at least appears to be), that's the way it has to be. The Office2000 apps all use the same Winelib - or that's what I think goes on. Perhaps things are arranged such that if a Wine server is running, a new one is not started up when a new application wants it?

They definitely use different wines per product - if you exemine the PhotoPaint installation files you'll notice libwine-wpo2000 and libwine-graphics9. Dunno what is going on in wine-land but something is stopping my TopPage, which also uses a custom wine, from running. This is odd, as TopPage installs it's own wine in its own directory, same as Corel. On Thu, 6 Jul 2000, Derek Fountain wrote:

They do. But they get along fine. I was running Corel Photopaint 9 and Toppage together last night on my laptop and they were both quite happy. They didn't share the same Wineserver so proper integration wasn't possible, and there was obviously a lot of duplication in memory, but that's primarily because Toppage is still in beta. It seems the only people who have problems are those who have Wine installed already. I think it's because Wine dumps its libraries in /usr/lib or somewhere early in the library search path. Corel's and IBM's stuff see those before the ones they are supposed to see. Have you tried setting an LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the correct Winelibs for the app? Also, do you have a .wine in your home directory, or a winerc somewhere?

Yes, you need to remove the distributed wine and replace it with the one IBM mentions in the README. Everything else went fine afterwards. TopPage is pretty impressive!

The remedy of removing SuSE's wine did not help. I eventually reran the rpm installation of Corel & things still were not right. Running Yast's Install Packages over the Corel install dir indicated that some vital wine libs were not installed. Manually installing these brought PhotoPaint to life, and forcing the reinstall of the menu & menusupport rpms then gave me the KDE menu entries. There's definitely something odd about the PhotoPaint SuSE installation routine, as the Mandrake one ran fine. The app is fine, just slow on my K6-2/350, 96Mb box.

Which script? I didn't run a script, except the single "install" one. It went like clockwork. Although I didn't have an existing Wine installation already on the system, which probably helps. I have since found a rather nasty bug in Photopaint9. Using it under Sawfish and GNOME-1.2, I made the window full screen sized by using the full screen icon in the window's top right corner. Now dialogs popup at full screen size too! I logged out and back in, but it still does it. It doesn't do it under KDE, so it might be a window manager interaction thing. Also, there'a typo below: you start it with /usr/bin/photopaint, not /usr/bin/photopaint9.

Like Paul, I also tried to get the icons and menusupport to work, but it
does exit with an error complaining about script failure. However, you can
start it from the command line by typing photopaint. With an installer
clever enough to spot you have a SuSE distribution, it would be nice if
Corel could fix it so the menus do appear under KDE. But like Derek said,
three cheers to them for porting it free.
