I think Corel should put a version of this post
up on the WordPerfect Suite 2000 for Linux Update & patch page:
The bottom line is that an install error, even when using the
INSTALL
script Corel provides, causes the failure of the FONTTASTIC rpm
on
Mandrake/Red Hat Systems. There is a cascade of two other link
mismatches that have to be addressed AFTER manually installing
fontastic.rpm, or even if the Corel font manager is running, the
Corel
Suite componants won't know it, and bail out. I include the TWO
STEPS
needed to get WPO2000 going smoothly on Mandrake 7.2 and Red HAt
7.0:
Part I (from newsgroup post by Jaun Casero)
Step A
Mount WPO2000 CD-Rom
find fontastic-glibc_2.1-2000.03.13.12.01.1.i386.rpm
force install in kpackage by deselecting "check dependancies"
and
selecting "replace packages" or
cd /mnt/cdrom/dists/redhat/i386
rpm -i --force --nodeps
fontastic-glibc_2.1-2000.03.13.12.01.1.i386.rpm
THEN:
Step B
su to root
cp /usr/sbin/fonttastic /etc/rc.d/init.d
cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
ln -s ../init.d/fonttastic $85fonttastic
AND THEN:
Part II (from newsgroup post by James Richard Tyrer )
First, you need to determine if FontTastic is actually running.
Execute:
ps -C fontfs
{fontfs is the actual name of the FontTastic executable}
If it reports a PID (number) then it is running.
If it is running, edit the file
"/usr/lib/corel/bin/wpolauncher"
Remove all instances of the string "/all".
These two steps should install fonttastic, make links, and purify
the
startup script.
Corel must really be under siege not to put this out there for
their
Mandrake/Red Hat users!
