Problems with mozilla on a new suse 9.1 installation
 

I just got finished installing suse 9.1 for x86_64 on my computer. Unfortunately, I am having problems. Mozilla will not start for me.

jth@x1-6-00-01-53-82-0a-e3:~$ mozilla
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 [/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 [/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

any ideas on how to fix this?

Also, is there a way to get files from the command line similar to apt-get, and can I get the num-lock key to start when it boots up?

EDIT: I also need help getting gedit to work after I log in as root. I probably need to add a directory to my path, but I dont remember how to do that.

apt is available here. http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/

Thanks, I did not know that that existed. Will this work together with YaST? (can I install some packages from YaST and some from APT?)

yep, they both work off of the same rpm database,so no problems there. been using it for a long time, haven't had any problems

This is getting very frustrating :mad:. I installed apt-libs, lua, and apt; but..

x1-6-00-01-53-82-0a-e3:/home/jth/Desktop # apt-get update
apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

... it wont work.

Do I have to hunt down and install this file? will it cause a dependency hell? How can I tell if it is already installed? (updatedb and locate does not work)

that lib is included in the 'rpm' package. run SuSEconfig at the root prompt, should clear that up.

That does not appear to fix it.

I installed the two packages using "yast -i" because rpm gave me this:

x1-6-00-01-53-82-0a-e3:/home/jth/Desktop # rpm -i apt-libs-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.3.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libpopt.so.0 is needed by apt-libs-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.3
librpm-4.1.so is needed by apt-libs-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.3
librpmdb-4.1.so is needed by apt-libs-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.3
librpmio-4.1.so is needed by apt-libs-0.5.15cnc6-0.suse091.rb.3

Apparently yast just installed it w/o worrying about the dependencies, resulting in a broken program. Can you walk me through how you installed this?

i put apt, apt-libs and lua in the same directory and did 'rpm -ivh *.rpm' that way the rpm system figures out with package has to go first to satisfy dependencies.
