Thanks for the quick response, Gavriel! I don't know what "Distros without run-parts" means. I don't know if SuSE has 'run-parts' or not. SuSE's glibc is version 2.1.1, not 2.1.3, so I would guess that the sections about can be ignored. ??? I've never used the patch command. patch -pnum /usr/lib/corel/bin/setupWPO2000 <some name I give your diff snippet when I make it a text file> ???? I like your symlink solution better! ;-) If you tell me what the name for the symlink the install program is looking for II will get the SuSE tech folks to tell me the name of the glibc library file that it should link to.

I don't recall the number of disks or controllers, but it worked out to be 1/3 of a Terabyte for less than $4000 US ;).

I think fred is just being passionate . He may not be up to date on the wine vs nativei linux (niether was I ) nor is it being shouted out at you by corel. They are touting it as a "liunux" app. aka "corel word perfect office 200 for linux" It does not say anything about wine (http://www.corel.com/news/2000/march/march_20_2000.htm) It is a very eaasy assumption that it is a native mode app and not A windows app run throght wine. Given that meny users wont realy care , but some do. Now we know that this is suposed to be a temp issue , and that the next port will be native etc... Thats a more minor issue I think. I think the main issue it that there is another "office suite" available for linux , and a heavy whieght at that. I can live with wine for a while , and who knows , maybee the work done on wine will amke more windows app aviualable to run under wine. That would realy be interesting. >-- >To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com >For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com >Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ > > -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
