tyme Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 not sure if this is what you're looking for (never used corel draw), but inkscape and the GIMP are decent programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 There is currently no application that is like Corel Draw in Linux. Inkscape is probably the closest you can get, but it is still quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonebags Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 ive downloaded inkscape rpm but when it comes to installing it, it says it cant as devil is needed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 You can install inkscape using easyurpmi mirrors. http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php Once all mirrors are set up, run urpmi inkscape and you are done. Urpmi will automatically solve all dependencies you might run into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 We all had our problems getting used to Linux. In some months, you will hopefully feel at home with your linux box. Just take your time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpatrick Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Corel Draw 9 used to be available on linux for a short time. Here's an old review of it dated November 2000: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/2573/1/ Actually, they ported the app to linux by using wine. Corel discontinued this experiment after a short while but you can still pick up Corel Draw for Linux on ebay.

aioshin Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 if you find it hard to install via urpmi, then try this one http://autopackage.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 [root@localhost john]# urpmi inkscapeno package named inkscape [root@localhost john]# You seem to have not set up your sources properly. Follow each step on the easyurpmi site and read carefully what it tells you to do. (Apparently you forgot to copy and paste the mirror information into the terminal. :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
