HOWTO: Opera 9beta2 Dapper

[grugnog]

AMD64 people,

If you should get this error:

/usr/lib/opera/9.0-20060616.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This worked great - thanks!

Thank You very much. ALthough I still get two errors about shared libraries, it works!

I had opera running pretty fine on my system but after borking my installation, I figured it best to do a clean install. I didn't find it wise to install an older version of opera first so I dumped right into installing version 9.01 on my amd64 machine running the 64bit kernel. I installed RealPlayer first, then the 32 bit java, then opera. When I run it, I get the following error

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/9.01-20060728.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Java is indeed installed. What then could possibly be the reason I can't get it to even open. It just quits when launched from the GUI, it's using the terminal I get to see the error message. Doesn't open up so I can edit the path to java. Any ideas?

whereis libXcursor.so.1

yields

libXcursor.so: /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1

Never mind, I got it working. Had to copy the libXcursor.so.1 to the /usr/lib32 directory.

AMD64 people,

If you should get this error:

/usr/lib/opera/9.0-20060616.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

you need to install the i386 libqt.

wget http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qt-x11-free/libqt3-mt_3.3.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb

Then,

sudo dpkg -x libqt3-mt_3.3.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb .

Which will extract the guts into the current directory (.). Now copy the contents of ./usr/lib to /usr/lib32/.

sudo cp ./usr/lib/libqt* /usr/lib32/

Enjoy opera.

I just used this to fix Opera 10. Thanks!

AMD64 people,

You suggest:

wget http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qt-x11-free/libqt3-mt_3.3.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -x libqt3-mt_3.3.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb .

But it don't worked for me because of dependency issues, so:

I've used:

sudo apt-get install libaudio2

libaudio2 is a dependency for libqt3-mt (not resolved by apt-get)

then:

sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt

Didn't work on my AMD64. Here's what I did:

opera
