OK, I've done everything you have said but have struck a brickwall and don't know how to overcome - especially since it all looks so illogical.
During the first installation of the rpms, I got an error message stating that "libwmf-0.2.8-24.i586.rpm did not appear to be a RPM package". All the other rpms installed perfectly. After this I went to have a look at libwmf using Midnight Commander and Yes, mc came back with the message that it could not read the file. So I downloaded another copy of it from the SuSE site and this time I was able to look insided it using mc. Fine, I thought to myself, now I can install it. HA! :-(
When I try to install libwmf-0.2.8-24.i586.rpm I now get an error message which states-
wv requires libwmf-0.2.so.6 wv requires libwmflite-0.2.so.6
and something else also requires the latter file (...lite...).
Now, what has got me absolutely and thoroughly confused is that both of the above files (the so.6) are acutally installed and are sitting in /usr/lib!
What is going on, and what needs to be done to overcome this impasse?
I don't if this connected to the above but before I updated to KDE 3.1.3 - or, rather, almost updated to it - I had a fully functional TV card (ie, Kwintv was working perfectly) and also in the poker game all cards has backs and fronts which were visible- now the cards are total blanks with nothing on them :-).
Anyone have a solution to this problem of mine? ====================
Basil, It turns out the new libwmf rpm SuSE provided for us is bad or at least they didn't settle the dependencies of the other programs that work with the new version. I get the same error, which also includes ImageMagick, so don't force the install, as it will probably break something. Just leave it for the moment, no biggy, and things will come together later. Not sure if the libwmf plays any part in the poker game or not as mine has been broken for a long time. I suspect it is because the game itself has not kept up with KDE. I find some other anomalies as well and am pretty sure QT3 may be part of the answer. Hopefully kpoker will be brought up to date or qt3 will be corrected, whichever it takes.
