Applixware 4.4.1. on SuSE Linux 6.0

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0
Applix: Version 4.4.1

Request:

You want to install Applixware 4.4.1 from the Linux Office Suite 99 on a SuSE Linux 6.0 system.

Procedure:

There are two possibilities :

  1. You can install the glibc based version of Applixware 4.4.1 . In order to do that : As root mount CDROM 002 on the directory /cdrom. Start YaSTŪ and choose the menu item Choose/Install packages, then Install packages.

    Choose Directory as installation source and enter the path

    /cdrom/special/Red_Hat_5.x/applix
    
    Choose the packages axbase, axfont and apxeng (for an english installation). Start the installation with F10

    If you have the first edition of the Linux Office Suite 99 (the SuSE logo still contains the dots -- S.u.S.E. -- in that version), you still need the libstdc++-2.8, since that library isn't contained in SuSE Linux 6.0 (6.0 uses a much newer library). The necessary RPM package can be found at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/Applix/4.4.1/glibc/libstdc++-2.8.0-10.i386.rpm

    Please also check the file /usr/X11R6/bin/applixware. Please remove the line

    export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libdl.so.1
    
    if it is contained in that file.

    Finally start the program SuSEconfig. Now restart Applixware.

  2. The second, alternative possibility is to install the libc5 based Applixware packages from the SuSE Linux 5.3 base system on CDROM 001 . Please make sure the package shlibs5 from SuSE Linux 6.0 is installed, so Applixware finds the required shared libraries.
