Re: [newbie] Word Perfect 8 for Linux install problem
Hi, I have solved the same problem unpacking again in order to overwrite the previous "Runme" file and the rest of them .Then I could execute the Runme file again without trouble.

Look in /usr/local/WordPerfect/wpbin and see if it's there. If it is, then get in that directory in a terminal window and execute "./wpbin". If it works, then you can work out the issue of how to execute it normally, depending on the window manager you're using. > > If it's not there, then you really do have a bad install and I don't have a ready >fix in mind. > -- > Lane > > Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA > Using Linux to get where I want to go... > > Emilio Correa e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.tuayuda.com.ar (Informática/Listas de Correo)

I searched the entire disk, and the file is not there. I'm going to try to download again and see what happens. Thanks.

Was it not installed, or will it just not run? Look in /usr/local/WordPerfect/wpbin and see if it's there. If it is, then get in that directory in a terminal window and execute "./wpbin".

If it's not there, then you really do have a bad install and I don't have a ready fix in mind. -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Using Linux to get where I want to go...
[newbie] Word Perfect 8 for Linux install problem
I downloaded Word Perfect yesterday. It unpacked normally. When I tried to run the file called 'Runme' it said there was nothing to do. I ended up doing a manual install (running install.wp). I thought it installed everything ok, but the file xwp was not installed. I cannot run Word Perfect without it. Any ideas?
