Applixware 4.4.1. : Problems after update to SuSE Linux 6.0

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0
XFree86: Version 4.4.1

Symptom:

You've updated your SuSE Linux System to version 6.0, however now Applixware 4.4.1 doesn't work anymore. When starting the program in an xterm using the command /usr/X11R6/bin/applixware, a message like the following appears (or parts of it) : 

cp: error in loading shared libraries
libc.so.5: cannot open shared objekt file: No such file or directory
getStrOpen: Could not open /opt/applix/axdata/eng/axstrfl
start process: connect: Connection refused

Cause:

There are two possible causes. A LD_PRELOAD line was added to the wrapper script, since Applixware contained its own loader in the first edition of Linux Office Suite 99. This loader unfortunately didn't work. Now the former workaround fails on glibc based systems.

The second problem appears in conjunction with an existing directory /opt/applix/axdata/eng/, when the package apxeng isn't installed. Applixware tries to start in english, if that directory exists, however it can't find the necessary files.

Solution:

  1. Remove the line 
    export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libdl.so.1
    from /usr/X11R6/bin/applixware or put a comment sign # in front of that line.

  2. Install the package shlibs5 with YaSTŪ.

  3. Remove the dire
