How to get Opera working?

[srikat]

Just download a binary installer with static qt library from opera's site. You might try to get a deb file with static qt and install it with dpkg -i --force-architecture opera*.deb so you can uninstall it later if you want.

I downloaded opera_9.0-20060616.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb

I installed libqt3-mt and when I do sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture opera_9.0-20060616.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb it got installed.

But when I type 'opera' in the terminal, get:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
/usr/lib/opera/9.00-20060616.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Help pls.

Thanks for that.

I tried the fix suggested at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1167982&postcount=62 and get:

sri@sri-desktop:~$ opera
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
QSettings: error creating /home/sri/.qt

Need to install ia32-libs package...

IC..TY.

I've actually installed 32-bit Ubuntu erasing the 64-bit version. Opera installation was as easy as point and click using Automatix.
