When I cd to the package directory and issue the ./setup command I get an error message saying that 'glic 2 cannot be found', and the an error say that glibc2 cannot be found. SuSE 6.3 is supposed to be glibc2 and I can nm /lib/ld-linux.so.2 and it responds with

SUSE & the GUI Setup: ===================== You are correct - this issue was noticed after the final CD went to manufacturing. I believe that there will be a web page up about this shortly. The setup tool is doing an 'rpm -qi glibc | grep Version' to get the version of glibc you're running, but SUSE (unlike other RPM based distros) puts the C libraries into a different package (shlibs). There's a simple workaround with a symlink, but I've forgotten exactly where, and I don't have a SUSE system in front of me. For now the easiest thing to do is to simply rpm -i all the packages except the glibc 2.0 versions of FontTastic and Wine. Distros without run-parts ========================= After installing the packages, su and apply the following patch to the /usr/lib/corel/bin/setupWPO2000 file: ----------- @@ -47,5 +47,11 @@ # run the setup sub scripts that have been installed. if [ -d /usr/lib/corel/bin/per-user-setup ] then - run-parts /usr/lib/corel/bin/per-user-setup + for candidate in /usr/lib/corel/bin/per-user-setup/* + do + if [ -x $candidate ] + then + $candidate + fi + done fi ----------- glibc2.1.3 based distros ======================== There is a bug in glibc 2.1.3 that will cause an immediate crash on startup in WINE.
