Re: [newbie] Libarary compatibility
It's this particular one I'm having the problem with. libc5-1.0-2.i386.rpm. I used it once in the past and it worked fine. I even had saved it on a zip disk, but my zip drive died. I downloaded it from Caldera's site and did the same thing I did last time, but this time it didn't work. I get a error message. If I unpack it from software manager, it tells me it is already installed, which I don't think it could possibly be. I have re-installed 8.0 since the time it worked and besides that WP8 will not install, as it did the last time. The only libraries on my system that I am aware of, would be what comes stock with 8.0. If I unpack it from Package manager, it does nothing. No big deal though, the main reason I wanted it was to print envelopes, because I was having trouble getting Star Office to print them right. I have since figured out what I was doing wrong there, so this was actually a blessing. I learned something new in the process. Now there is no hurry to get WP to work so, if I do it's just iceing on the cake. Thanx for your concern, not only on this, but on the info about GNOME you gave me in the past. I am now running Ximian exclusively and not having any major problems. I am also planning to get the powerpack when 8.1 is released, so I'll probably wait until then to *monkey with it any more. *notice the Ximian influence?

Thanx, that sounds like it ought to do it. I must have had those installed before, but didn't realize it. I'll give it a go.

To install WP on either 8.0 or 8.1 you need to install 2 additional pkgs. libc-5.3.12-35mdk ld.so-1.9.11-4mdk Both are Cooker pkg but the easiest way to find them is using www.rpmfind.net libc will now install with no conflicts. When you install ld.so set it to upgrade and Replace both files and pkgs. I am using WP on both an 8.0 Ximian system and a system with 8.1 Beta3. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.

Re: [newbie] Libarary compatibility
I did a quick search for libc at rpmfind.net and I found a number of Mandrake and Mandrake Cooker packages. What is the problem? On Thu, 13 Sep 2001 17:17:21 -0400, Charles A.
