Hi.

I run SuSE 7.3. How do I install a .bin file ??.

In a terminal, type: source something.bin

It will basically execute the bin file. The only real-world exemple of this I can think of is non-RPM version of Sun's JDK. This way it is possible to display the license.

Thank you David. Yes it the Star Office 6.0 Beta.

Best regards, David

The result are here: shamrock:/media/cdrom # chmod u+x so-6_0-beta-bin-linux-en.bin chmod: changing permissions of `so-6_0-beta-bin-linux-en.bin': Read-only file system shamrock:/media/cdrom # ./so-6_0-beta-bin-linux-en.bin glibc version: 2.2.4 ./so-6_0-beta-bin-linux-en.bin: cannot connect to X server shamrock:/media/cdrom # What is wrong ?

What is wrong ?

Are you running this in the console only environment. If so get in to the Graphical environment open term xterm whatever and then issue the same command.

You need to be in a graphical environment X server running. If root rights are needed then firs type "sux" then once you got the root rights then issue the command

Thanks Togan for your help. -- Med venlig hilsen - best regards Erik Jakobsen -erik@urbakken.dk - Vy 73 OZ4KK Powered by SuSE linux 7.3
