ld.so-1.9.5-13.i386.rpm and libc-5.3.12-35mdk.i586.rpm were both needed to 
install wp 8 under 8.0.  i suspect you will find this is the case in 8.1 
also.  you can find them at rpmfind or i think i may have them and can mail 
them to you.

good luck.

Re: [newbie] Installing WordPerfect 8.0 under Mandrake 8.1

2001-11-09 Thread James F. Marshall

It appears that the solution is to install the following:

 (a)  libc5-5

 (b)  ld.so-1.9.11-4mdk

I already have libc5.3.12-35mdk, which takes care of (a), right?

When I tried to install (b), GnomeRPM reported two conflicts. 
Even when I said ignore these conflicts, the installation
failed.

What more must I do to install WP 8.0 under Mandrake 8.1?  I
paid for the commercial version of WP 8.0 a couple of years ago.
 I don't see any runme file.

[newbie] Installing WordPerfect 8.0 under Mandrake 8.1

2001-11-09 Thread James F. Marshall

The installation fails.

install.wp yields "file not found."

./install.wp fails to prompt for installation directory, reports
"file not found" repeatedly, and creates multiple empty
directories at the top level.

What is the trick?
