I just installed Mandrake 8.2. Everything looks okay, except for the
fact that there are several programs I have that ran under 8.1 that
when I install them in 8.2 come up with dependency errors. One program
is WordPerfect 8; it won't install at all. Another is Opera 6, which is
looking for a file I can't find. I just reinstalled 8.1 and all is well
again.
Are other people having these kinds of problems?
Incidentally, the problems I'm having crop up with a clean install as
well as an upgrade from 8.1.
To run WP8 in 8.2 you need to install ld.so1, libc-base, and libc-extras which are all
on CD3 of the 8.2 download edition.
WP8 will then install and run without problem
If you are using Opera, downloaded form their site/mirrors, libpng2 is required.
Libpng3 is used in 8.2.
You can ether install libpng2 from your 8.1 CD or you can join the MandrakeClub.
The version of Opera available through the Club, which will also be in the PowerPack,
was built for Mandrake by Opera and does not require libpng2.
If you choose to install libpng2, install it only and not libpng2-devel.
You will then have installed on your system,libpng2, libpng3, and libpng3-devel.
