Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply.

I am afraid that I have not tested WP on any of those distros. I even did
not know about them.

My WP 8.1 is working perfectly on a Libranet 2.8.1
I have tested it also at Ubuntu 5.10 and it worked but it I am not able to
run it on Ubuntu 6.06 which is the one I am actually using.

Have you asked Leon ? Here is the "master" of WP...

Best regards,

Sorry, I don't use Ubuntu.  Like Javier, I am still using libranet 2.8.1 
and will continue to use it, along with Libranet 3.0, as my "base"
system.

I did a trial install of SuSE 10.1; no problem installing old shlibs5 
with YAST and then installing WP8 (the orginal WP8; haven't gotten 
around to trying 8.1 or 8.2 yet).

Speaking of "weird distros" I really like the way Solaris 10 8/07 runs

on a Core 2 Dual (1.8 gHz) system; Solaris really likes to run in a 
multiproc environment.  One of these days I'll get around to setting up 
Linux in it, but what I'd really like is to try WP8/UNIX.  There was an 
earlier post from someone who has a copy... (hint).

It's just sleeping.

Has anyone had any luck getting WP (either native LINUX or with 
WINE/crossover) working on any weird distros? Like Wolvix 
http://wolvix.org/, Frugalware http://www.frugalware.org/ or 
http://www.sabayonlinux.org/ ???

Javucho:

I still keep an eye open here as well.  I'm slow getting an answer to 
you as we've been away.

Though I gave up on WP several years ago, I have found several 
workarounds, and hopefully I can offer some suggestions to those that 
may be tiring of ever seeing a newer WP for Linux.

Frank.
