I'm advised by a letter in response to a Linux Journal article entitled "Finally, Free Fix to Filtrix for WordPerfect 8 Linux Users"
Try installing the package shlibs5. It has libc.so.5.4.46 and ld.so.1.9.9 (there's no such thing as id.so). They *should* work
That being all I need, do I understand correctly that I simple put them in their own folder and make it know in the path? If so, exactly how do I place that variable in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Sorry to be so dense.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/directory then run the program *in the same shell as you ran the above export* You can also put that export line in your .bashrc ---------------- O.K. the above didn't work and I'm not sure why; will have to futz around more to get a better feel as to what actually went wrong. Meanwhile, I had the 7.3 lockup and had to use the KDE System Guard (ctrl esc) to shut down a frozen quattro pro. I killed, using the system guard, a running wineserver process and a quattro Pro process to get control back of the system, then rebooted. When I did so I encountered the follow problem(s). Clicking on the quattro pro icon I first get a dialog saying the Quattro Pro did not find a running font server and that it will have to start one. This is normal every time I do a cold boot. This is generally followed by a wine dialog that says Initializing Wine and it runs from 0 % to 100% and then quattro pro loads. Now it starts and get to about 0% and just quits. If i run photopaint it starts the wine initialization and it goes to completion, photopaint runs, and works. Looking at KDE System Guard will then show a running wineserver process running, BUT if I then try to run quattro pro I get the same starting to initialize wine dialog that goes to 0% and then quites. Not being able to solve this problem, I decided to simply re-load Corel Office 2000 for Linux. Using su- from a shell, I CD to /media/dvd and issue the normal ./setup command only to be told "cannot connect to X server." Never experienced this before so not sure how to handle this error. That not working I opened the Super User File Manager, clicked on the startup script icon and get back "Corel Application Installer, Error: libc6 (for redhat glibc) 2.0 or higher is required to use this application. A bit confusing. I had none of these problems when I initially installed Corel Office 2000 for Linux under ver 7.1. When I updated from 7.1 to 7.3 a couple weeks back I had no problems with the office suite, but suddenly, apparently after doing nothing more than killing the wineserver this one time, nothing but disaster. Can anyone provide some insight here as to what is going on and even better, how to repair this. many thanks, dave -- David C.
