Instead, I'd suggest that you get the following 2 Mandrake RPMs from any Mandrake Cooker site: libc-5.3.12-35mdk.i586.rpm ld.so-1.9.11-4mdk.i586.rpm Once downloaded, you can install them from a terminal window (either as ROOT or SU) with the following command: rpm -Uvh <package name> [Enter] Or, if you open File Manager in superuser mode, and go to the directory in which you downloaded the RPM files, you can install them by right-clicking on the appropriate RPM file name, and then selecting "open with", and then selecting either the Software Installer or the Package Manager. Once you have those two packages installed, you'll have no further problems with the Word Perfect installation. Good Luck!
