RE: [SLE] After install of 8.1, Opera 6.03 will not start.
I installed the opera-6.03-20020813.2-shared-qt.i386.rpm that I downloaded from opera earlier and had the same problem. I uninstalled it via Yast2 and installed the opera on the 8.2 DVD and everything started working.

Opera statically linked works, but shared doesn't? Sounds like another gcc 3.2 issue. Does the shared version provide any usable error messages?

No, no error messages at all. The install seemed to go ok and the binary was in the proper location. It would act as if it was starting. I could see cpu activity for a few seconds then the cursor timed out and NOTHING. I have three more machines to install to so I expect I will see the same problem again.

I am extremely disapointed with 8.1! I just updated my Compaq laptop and, although it took over an hour which is the fault of the slow laptop, everything works, including my old Opera!! Can't depend on anything any more! The only thing I did differently on this install is I let YAST delete the apps it couldnt update. When done even my XMMS & Synaptic worked. Well, it comes up and goes through the motions but wont connect for updating for obvious reasons. I had installed such things as gnucash, apt and some others without yast's help and apparently in the upgrade it finds those things it doesn;t like and if you let it delete them all goes well, at least it did on this one. Next I will do my main machine. If that one goes as well, I may give up on Linux and go back to windows. How I miss the freezes and reboots after any changes! I guess the moral of this little saga is that Yast is smarter than we think it is. Good going, SuSE, and thanks, Richard
