I just did. It looks pretty good. It's fast and small, 1.1M dynamically linked or 2.5M with statically linked Qt2.2. It handles all the sites I normally visit.

However, fonts still look crappy, which is par for the course with linux. Aside from Opera for Windows, the real reason I still keep Windows around is sometimes I need a break from linux's ugly font-handling.

Try installing a TrueType fontserver xfsft is a good one and install M$ webfonts, or try getting the M$ webfonts and converting into postscript which is what Linux runs naturally which is most probably where your problem could be. ciao Rob Davies rjdart@optusnet.com.au ICQ 10432219 ' To converse is one strategy that separates us from the Apes.' -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hi all, Does Opera have any type of security? I mean I need a secured link to do my Internet banking, that's the only reason I use Netscrape now. TIA!

Good, I'll try it. chances? in other words no difference to Netscrape. <G>

Performance-wise, however, it has been quite stable for me.

No, 'fraid I can't help you -- what version of SuSE, X, Qt et al. are you using? I suggest using the statically-linked-to-Qt binary that Opera provides, if you are not using it already. There might still be other linux-typical library-go-round problems. Here are some paragraphs from the Opera website that may contain useful information: Qt 2.2.0 has been released and has been used to make this version of Opera for Linux. Qt 2.2.0 can be downloaded from a few different sites. Most sites that carry the KDE project make Qt 2.2 available as binaries or packages. Otherwise download the Qt 2.2.0 source files from www.trolltech.com and compile it for your system. Opera requires the -gif option to be used when configuring Qt to compile. Once it is compiled make sure to add the $QTDIR/lib directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in order to run Opera properly. Note: You don't need to install Qt on your system if you download an Opera package with Qt statically linked. These packages are about twice the size of the packages with Qt dynamically linked. There should be no other dependencies for Opera other than to have an X11R6.3+ implementation (and, as already mentioned, Qt 2.2.0 if you download a package with Opera dynamically linked to Qt) installed on the system. I get this message: "error in loading shared libraries: libqt.so.2" This means that you have downloaded a package which is dynamically linked to Qt, and either your system lacks the correct Qt version, or you haven't set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable correctly (e.g.: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/qt-2.2.0/lib , depending on where your libqt.so.2 resides on your filesystem). In other words, make sure that you have Qt 2.2.0 dynamic library installed, and that LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to it. Alternatively, if you download an Opera package with Qt statically linked instead, you won't have to worry about this. What are the system requirements to run this version of Opera for Linux? The Standard C++ Library is required to run Opera for Linux. This library is a nightmare to statically link to a project. After some thought, we've decided that instead of linking it, we'd prefer to specify where it can be found. Most Linux distributions have it available. We've tested on clean installations of Corel 1.0, RedHat 6.1, Mandrake 6.0, Caldera 2.2, as well as several others. We're currently preparing to test with Debian and other versions we've obtained. You can get this library from most Linux vendors, or you can download and compile it from http://sourceware.cygnus.com. What X Servers is Opera known to work with? XFree86 3.3.5 (tested) or better, XIG or MetroX These are the X-Windows servers we test on. We have had great success in the past with XFree86 3.3.3.1, but we haven't tested earlier than that. We've tested with Accelerated X 5.0.2 from XIG and also with MetroX 4.3.4. -- Corvin Russell -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hi :) I ignored the rpms and downloaded the dynamic [ for qtlibs 2.2 ] in .tgz This .tgz does not even need to be compiled ~ the 'opera' binary simply needs to be moved to /usr/bin Opera runs OK :) best wishes -- ____________ sent on Linux ____________ This Email is 100% Virus Free!
