Ok Ok. I know. It's late and I am in a hurry to install this new
WordPerfect8 thang. Anyway, I don't seem to be able to install it
properly. I am running Caldera, 2.0.33. ( I haven't had the time to
upgrade the kernel ). I copied the files to a temp directory under the
/root directory. I unzipped and decompressed the files using
tar --ungzip -xf <filename>
This seems to have worked fine. All the files are pulled out ok. Then
I ran the ' Runme ' script. It asked if I unzipped the files, I answer
' y ', then it tries to unzip the files again, giving me file header,
not a tar file warnings. The it asks for the install directory. I told
it " /WordPerfect8 ". Didn't like that. The it renamed all the .gz
files to .gz.bk
I reran the tar command, ran the same thing, but said to install to
" test ". This would actually have been /root/wp/test. The same thing
happened again. Said invalid directory then the Runme script exited.
Am I doing anything wrong. I am doing all this from the command
line. Should I be doing it from XWindows? The readme files are vague
on this.
Any ideas or suggestions?
