I was wondering if this was the one. i.e. re-format the entire machine, put Gentoo on it and then run the console based WP.Youll have to register with IBM to actually get the download, which for some reason proved very difficult today.
I would suggest installing app-portagegentoolkit to make sure you have all the above installed. You will also need a couple of extra 32bit libraries not in the emul-linux-x86 packages. ![]() In my first attempt to get it install I copied them off another Gentoo x86 system. That didnt work because the libgnomecanvas-2.so.0 had an undefined reference that artfree, apparently this is something in libartlgpl2.so.2.3.19, the copy in the emul libraries is libartlgpl2.so.2.3.17. To fix this problem I copied both libxkbfile and libgnomecanvas-2 from SUSE 9 installation, I figured they would old enough, I placed them in usrlocallib32 and ran ldconf as root. Im not sure if other distros will work but Im sure they would or getting them for a 32bit gentoo compiled against an older libart-lgl might work as well. Both seem to work, below are the instructions from installing them from the CentOS repository since its more available then SUSE 9, also Ive heard OpenSUSE 10 works too. However I did have to change its default install path from optibmlotusSymphony to optlotusSymphony to get this installer to work, not sure why. It seems to be a bit slow, not bad for a beta and I do like the interface over just plan OO.org. The big question is why would you do this, I dont know because I looked fun. Im working on an ebuild so I can get installed on my other machines as well. I would assume that it should install on a 32bit system with libgnomecanvas without any problems, however I havent tested this theory yet. ![]() Update I cant get it installed on 32bit P4 system, it fails with a glibc memory corruption error, Ill look into it later. Also Im trying to get it to work in silent mode so an ebuild will work, however right now I can only get is to work in the gui and console modes.

Lotus did many things right, and I think IBM will help put some spit-and-polish on OOo. I tried installing this on a gentoo x86 machine it broke with glibc memory corruption error, I havent had time to sit and debug it though. However I have been able to get on two different amd64 machines, both in graphical and console mode, still cant get silent to co-operate though. It found my printer, measurement, locale and language preferences auto-magically, unlike OOo which needs these things changedcorrected after installation. If its native 32bit can you do me favor and post your glibc version as well as you compilation flag out of make.conf. That would help me a ton. Can it be used in console re:DOS Office, cos that would be my dream come true for a couple of older, slow, machines and one very old notebook (DrDOS-5 MS Word-2, NO gui) I am running here. I want to replace the DrDOS and MS Word with a decent, console based WP. I was wondering if this was the one. Gentoo on it and then run the console based WP.
