Opera 6.1 final!

LaSAR · Posted: Thu Oct 31, 2002 8:00 am Post subject: Opera 6.1 final!

while there is not yet an official announcement on the opera-site,
files been appearing here:
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/610/final/en/
so is guess this will be the final release.

btw; is it better to go with the dynamic version or should i go with static?
Can i make a working easily by editing the old ones for opera or are there any new dependencies etc?

Yep. Looks really nice with anti-aliased fonts, too.

Its a pity that it didn't end up using qt 3.1 tho. I wanted to see opera with keramic buttons or the new liquid widgets. Ah well.. perhaps next release

hi,

changed my yesterday's ebuild for the final version.
Uses now wrapper-script, which avoids some error-messages.

This is for gcc32-system (older may work) and sharet QT3.
Have fun & enjoy

Hi,

first problem could be ignored. but I changed it.
The second one is also fixed:
openmotif is a dependency.

So download it again (same address as above),
in give it another try.

hmm still doesnt work.. i even tried re-emerging openmotif but libXm.so.2 still doesnt exists

Could it be that libXm.so.2 is al link to one of these:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3.0.1

:?:

could it be that this problem prevents me from watching a flashmovie in the new opera?

f*u*c**...
:oops:

lesstif seems to be correct one, not openmotif. or isn't it ?
[sorry: don't hunt me. I'm not so familar with X-libs]

link above.

[edit] it's needed for netscape-plugins.

Ravage,

Nice work on the ebuild. Had to make two changes in order to get Java applets to work:

Add these lines to /opt/opera/share/bin/opera:
export OPERA_JAVADIR=/opt/java/j2sdk/jre/lib/i386/
export LD_PRELOAD=${OPERA_JAVADIR}/libawt.so
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${OPERA_JAVADIR}:${OPERA_JAVADIR}/client/
export OPERA_FORCE_JAVA_ENABLED="1"

Change line 9 in /opt/opera/share/java/opera.policy to read:
grant codebase "file:///opt/opera/share/java//opera.jar" {

In addition, Opera complained that it couldn't find /usr/share/opera/chartables.bin. So I had to make the /usr/share/opera directory and copy /opt/opera/share/chartables.bin to it.

The icons look much better than the version I installed manually.

Thanks,

thx ejwahl: fixed these things.

you have to umerge opera, delete complet /opt/opera.
then emerge opera. (don't forget to unmask before.)

:idea:

use the above link for ebuild (like before) !

Now, for me Java and Flash works fine.

after struggling with browsers and java for the better half of this week, your ebuild is a godsend

thanks man, worked perfectly, although i still needed to add the export settings in the /opt/opera/share/bin/opera file... but hey, i can finally check my web mail at this service that uses java for it's encryption system...

the export settings are in there,
but they are only activated after starting opera once and set the java-path in "Preferences->Multimedia".
Then exit and restart - should be fine ... hope so.

looks pretty nice here too. except it doesnt' install to /opt/opera but i fixed that with a softlink.
and i probably will have to change the RGB settings for X because my AA fonts on my laptop look somewhat strange...
