Thus far any attempts to play with Kylix have caused me nothing but problems.... when running Mandrake 8.1 the past couple months Kylix worked the first time I loaded it.... but ever since then kept prompting me to authorize it (I already had). I tried entering the authorization key a second time but that didn't do anything to alleviate my problems (I got a 'thanks for authorizing' and then the program never got beyond its splash screen). I tried wiping out my .kylix directory just in case any of the configuration files in there had gotten wrecked but that didn't really have any positive effects (it would then hang on 'generating font matrix'... I left it in that state for at least an hour).
Now, I recently installed Suse... and grabbed the Kylix OE off the install cds, thinking as this was packaged for the distribution it shouldn't cause me any problems (and any dependencies it might require would be handled)... but once again I was wrong. Now all I'm getting errors about not being able to find the configuration files when launching the start script (how am I supposed to create them other than to run the startup script?) and also getting errors with a bunch of libs. I added /opt/kylix/bin to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig (don't ask me why they have the libraries in bin instead of in lib...). Now, when I try to launch Kylix directly I get the following error: david:/opt/kylix/bin # ./Kylix ./Kylix: error while loading shared libraries: bpldesignhooks.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory david:/opt/kylix/bin # ll bpldesignhooks.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Dec 21 08:39 bpldesignhooks.so.6 -> /opt/kylix/bin/bpldesignhooks.so.6.0 david:/opt/kylix/bin # ll bpldesignhooks.so.6.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8468 Jul 23 11:22 bpldesignhooks.so.6.0 Anyone have any suggestions? I've read the preinstall, readme, install help files and none of them have really offered any help.
