Has shlib5 package been dropped from SuSE 9.2?

Want to run Wordperfect but it will not run. Believe it requires libraries from shlibs5. Under SuSE 8.2 I installed shlibs5-2001.7.29-168. Appears there is no such rpm for SuSE 9.2. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Will I have problems installing the rpm from SuSE 8.2?

Probably. Try to find the source and compile it yourself. 1> Find the tar-ball 2> Unpack with 'tar xvzf shlib5xxxxxxx.tar.gz' 3> cd to the directory 4> type './configure' 5> type 'make' 6> su to root 7> type 'make install' 8> type 'ldconfig' 9> type 'exit' 10> Try WP again. Regards, Peter
