Thanks for the quick response, Gavriel! I don't know what "Distros without run-parts" means. I don't know if SuSE has 'run-parts' or not. SuSE's glibc is version 2.1.1, not 2.1.3, so I would guess that the sections about can be ignored. ??? I've never used the patch command. patch -pnum /usr/lib/corel/bin/setupWPO2000 <some name I give your diff snippet when I make it a text file> ???? I like your symlink solution better! ;-) If you tell me what the name for the symlink the install program is looking for II will get the SuSE tech folks to tell me the name of the glibc library file that it should link to. Thanks! Jerry On Sat, 01 Apr 2000, you wrote:

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. You need to run the following command before launching the applications:

$ export LC_ALL=en

You can edit the wpolauncher script to always do this if you like, of course.
