 Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2002 10:54 pm Post subject: Installing Word Perfect Office 2000 - possible? |
 |
|
Hey folks,
I'm a fairly new gentoo user, who'd really like to move to using Linux as my only OS at work -- there's only one application that I have to use that's causing me issues, and that's Corel's WordPerfect. I've got a copy of WordPerfect 2000 for Linux, but it I'm having some problems installing it on my gentoo box. I get an error message saying that I need libc6, and I'm not really sure how to proceed from there. I'm also confused because I only see debs and rpms, and I'm not sure how to get gentoo to play nicely with those.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

| You can emerge search RPM and install the rpm tools but I'm not sure if that will solve the libc issue |

tried it, still getting the error message
I'll keep plugging away, but if anyone's got ideas, please let me know.

Have you tried to install libc6?
