Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Applixware
Thanks for spreading the info, Lach. Normally we include this sheet in each Applixware shipment, but I think we messed up in this case. Sorry Mr. Medjeral! Sincerely, James Gray
This is a message I got from Bodo on this problem: Important Information
The installation of Applixware on a S.u.S.E. Linux System differs slightly from the installation routine on a Redhat system. To install Applixware on S.u.S.E. Linux, you first need to login as root. Once logged in, mount the Applixware CD:
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom -o exec,no_root_squash,ro
Now change to the directory /cdrom
cd /cdrom
Next, run the installation program:
./install-applix
And a final step, install the Applix libraries:
rpm -i RPMS/i386/applix-libs-4.3-2.office.i386.rpm
Then go back to your home directory and umount the cdrom. Now you're done!
cd umount /cdrom
To start Applixware, type in
/opt/applix/applix

Thank you, your S.u.S.E.-Team!

I recently bough Applixware 4.3.7 Office Suite direct from SuSe in the United States. The package says it is compatible with SuSE Linux 5.1. The leaflet inside the package says: Applixware for Red Hat Linux and describes the installation:
mount cdrom # cd /cdrom Run the installation program: # ./install-applix
In the my SuSe Linux distribution this gives a 'permission denied'
Then tried 'sh ./install-applix' Did not work.
Using YaST it gave a error message stating that cdrom had no installation directory.
The only way I could install applix was:
cd /cdrom/RPMS/i386
Then doing the ' rpm -ivh --nodeps of each rpm file'
It works !!
I thought that SuSe shld enclose a leaflet stating that the installation script does not work for SuSe customers. It would have save me time.
