Could it be you're trying to install binary packages meant for Intel architecture onto your PowerPC-based system? They are not compatible! I really doubt whether ppc versions of WordPerfect exist since I believe it required Wine (an Intel-only application) libraries to work - correct me if I'm wrong! I haven't heard of StarOffice available in PowerPC version either, and I used SuSE for PowerPC (7.0) myself... ---------------------------------------------------------------- "All I know is that I'm being sued for unfair business practices by Microsoft.
