Dapper Opera on AMD64

[cotcot]

Installing Opera 9.0 was mess untill it became available in the commercial repository. I experienced it for i386. Now I changed to AMD64.
The only problem is that Opera not (yet) available for AMD 64. The commercial repo is empty for AMD64.
Does anyone has Opera 9.0 on AMD64 ? If yes how did you install it ? Thanks

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture opera9.deb

Forcing the architecture works but I get the same mess as before the commercial repo (libqt3-mt 3.3.3 installed but asks for version 3.3.4). I get opera installed after installing version 3.3.3 but i cannot start it (/usr/bin/opera does nothing

Run it in the terminal so we can see the error

opera

this is what I get running "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. /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

However I have libqt-mt.so;3. This is the output of locate qt-mt :

/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.6 /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3 /usr/share/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 /usr/share/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3

I think you need to use the "static QT" version. When you go to the Opera download page, click the arrow under 'select distribution and vendor' and select Other/Static DEB. Then try sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture on that package.

WOOHOO! it works now!

thanks for that pay and basementgeek

i downloaded the "Other/Static DEB" version and forced the architecture on it and now it works perfectly fine

thanks!

No problem. I was until I figured that out!
