[lug] Slackware 7.1 and WPO2000

[B O'Fallon]

Hello,

Has anyone gotten WP Office 2000 to run under Slackware 7.0/7.1?

Apparently, from the WP newsgroups, there have been some problems with
it, for which there are some solutions, none of which work for me.

The first problem is if the installation program is run is that it does
not recognise the Slackware glibc6 libraries as being version glib6.
This supposedly can be fixed by setting the variable LC_AL=en. 
This did not help with the installation, but it did remove the
error message. 

Someone has written a script file (below) to do the installation
manually.
It also did not work, giving with multiple errors about failed
dependencies among files like /bin/sh, lib.so.6 files, etc.

(BTW, this script file is supposed to work with SuSE 6.2/6.3,
which also has installation problems. One would think that Corel would
have
at least tested it with SuSE, since they are the best selling
flavor in Europe).

My installation of 7.1 is a new, "stock" installation without
modification and
has the kernel code and development packages on it and is using gcc 2-95
or egcs 1.7. 

Any suggestions?

Thanx.
