I am not on RH, so perhaps not the right person to attempt a
reply ... however, I hope this post would keep the thread
alive ...
>From the symptoms it appears that the Runme program itself
could not run, probably because of unmet dependencies .... You
should remember that WP8 is over two years old, and the old
libraries needed to support it may not be available in the
default RH 7.0 box.
I was running WP8 happily when running on Debian Slink. When I
upgraded to Potato last year, I had to install three programs
from oldlibs section to overcome segfaulting ... On Debian,
the old packages were xlib6, libc5 and xpm4.7.
I do not know the packages system of RH 7.0 ... my hunch is
that RH 7.0 default libraries are too recent for WP8 to
operate ...
I could be wrong here ... There must be people on this list
using WP8 on RH7.0 ... They need to come forward to help you
out.
