Title: help installing opera ??
Post by: dansawyer on June 29, 2004, 07:19:11 pm

all,

I am trying to install opera in a 3.3.6pre1 system with Opie 1.0.3. The Opera package installs with the following errors:

ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./opt/QtPalmtop/opera/doc/buttons to '../buttons': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./opt/QtPalmtop/opera/help to 'doc': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./opt/QtPalmtop/opera/plugins/libpdfe.so to 'libpdfe.so.2.0.0': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./opt/QtPalmtop/opera/plugins/libpdfe.so.2 to 'libpdfe.so.2.0.0': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./opt/QtPalmtop/opera/plugins/libpdfe.so.2.0 to 'libpdfe.so.2.0.0': Operation not permitted

What is the latest/best Opera release for this system??

Is there a howto documenting installing Opera?

thanks,
Dan

partial success - the install was to an sd card that was not formated to ext2. That is fixed and the installs completed w/o error. However no opera icons appeared. I added the 'buttons' symlink:


1) mkdir /usr/share/opera
2) ln -sf /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/buttons /usr/share/opera/buttons

Is there something else??

Thanks.
Dan

update - 2

It seems that trying to mix sd and internal ram for packages creates linking issues. With that resolved opera6 installs without error. However attempts to run opera result in:

opera: relocation error: opera: undefined symbol: _7QString.shared_null

you'll need to install the compat libs.

Thanks,

I have heard of the compat libs, but have never installed them. Where are they?? Is there a howto, etc??

Again, thanks.
