hi i just installed opera, but when i booted it i got:

Opera encountered a problem during plug-in setup.
Plug-ins will not work properly.
Check your installation.

Could not start plug-in executable 'operamotifwrapper'.
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3
Please install Motif.

Plug-in path
(Path can be modified in Preferences dialog)

/usr/lib/opera/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

do i just do this:
su password
dpkg motif

?

opera seems to work but has sent me to its first time using opera page a couple of times

thanks for any replies

try
apt-cache search lesstif
and see if that gets you pointed toward some lesstif packages
lesstif is opensource implementation of old motif libs

hi, i installed opera in red hat 8.
i got a message saying that plugins would not work properly.
I tried to download operamotif from opera's home page but it is impossible (there's always an error during
download).
Can i solve this problem in any other way?
Thanks for the answers!

apt-get install lesstif1 solved this for me in debian sarge.
