Adobe Illustrator didn't want to start up under wine, because it couldn't find the file AI90Res.dll. This file is located after the Illustrator install in:
~/.cxoffice/dotwine/fake_windows/Program Files/Adobe/Illustrator 10/Support Files/Contents/Windows/System
I just moved it up one directory and everything started working.
I installed today the new Staden package (version 1.4) to my Suse 9. I included the lines:
export STADENROOT=/usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4 . $STADENROOT/staden.profile
in my ~/.bashrc file.
After this kprinter broke with the following error:
kprinter: /usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4/lib/linux-binaries/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/kde3/lib/kprinter.so)
I didn't know how to format an unformatted drive under Linux. I attached a firewire case with an old 12 GB Macintosh-formatted HD to my computer. In order to format it with reiserfs, I used Yast2. I had to go to expert mode and rewrite the partition table. By this action Yast2 puts an entry into the fstab, that I modified to:
/dev/sda1 /media/firewire reiserfs noauto,user 0 0
since I don't want to have it connected every time I boot up. Instead I can now mount it as a regular user manually with:
mount /media/tmp/
