DOlson Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I was wondering if anyone got WP8 working recently. http://home.ubalt.edu/abento/download/Word...dPerfect.tar.gz http://venus.corel.com/nasapps/wp8linuxreg...g/register.html I'm gonna give it a shot soon, since my sister needs it for schoolwork. If it does still work, maybe MUB could host the tarball in case it disappears from the web entirely? Anyhow, I'll report any success I have.

DOlson Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Okay, since I'm using Debian, this is how I got it going. Mandrake should have similar packages, but the names might vary: Install libc5 which pulls in another package called ldso as a dependency. Now run the installer. It'll work, albeit in text mode. Now, when you try to run wxp, if you get this error: ./xwp: can't load library 'libXt.so.6' install xlib6. Now, when you try to run wxp, if you get this error: ./xwp: can't load library 'libXpm.so.4' install xpm4.7 Presto! Works. Hope my sister can use this. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOlson Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 1. Make a backup of /etc/nsswitch.conf 2. Install libc5 3. Restore the old /etc/nsswitch.conf, in place of the new one 4. Install WP8. That's what someone on some mailing list on Google said. What I would do is do a diff on the two different files, to see what has changed. Not sure how Debian handled this issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really any need for it except that OOo doesn't support WordPerfect documents, to my knowledge. My sister's school uses it, so she needs it... I have the WordPerfect Office 2000 suite, but since it was made with Winelib and sucks, it doesn't install properly, nor does it run. I've tried all sorts of things, but no dice. WP8 is free though.

io333 Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Now, when you try to run wxp, if you get this error:./xwp: can't load library 'libXt.so.6' install xlib6. I'm getting this error trying to run WP8 in Man10oe. The package manager says I already have LibXt.s0.6 installed. I'm having zero luck here. Anyone?
