I have an old laptop with Pentium (32-bit) processors and a desktop with AMD64s. I’ve installed OpenSuSe 11.3 on the laptop and LEAP 42.3 on the desktop. The desktop does not have Internet access. I’m currently using Open Object REXX (OOREXX) and The Hessling Editor (THE) on the laptop windoze partition, but I’d like current versions for the desktop and appropriate versions for the SuSe 11.3 partition. They don’t seem to be on the LEAP 42.3 DVD, and I can’t find amd64 builds for LEAP 42.3. Can anybody provide me with the URLs for either or both distributions? Thanks.
Of course, which is why I only installed it on my AMD64 desktop. But it doesn’t include OOREXX or THE, and I’m looking for the appropriate RPM files for them, at least the two for the desktop but preferably all four.
I hadn’t realized that there was still a 32-bit Tumbleweed; I’ll replace the 11.3 in the next few days. Thanks.
I don’t do 1-click installs I always avoid them
goto https://software.opensuse.org/package/ooRexx
and click show other options
I’m getting errors with ie there but Firefox works
https://software.opensuse.org/package/THE
I’ve noticed an IE bug only on non en-US systems or systems with unsupported default locale if I set the default language to english IE works fine so if your locale is English you should be able to use IE too if not set the preferred language to english (in Internet options) or use Firefox
I get the error on a US English IE, but FF works fine, except for going to the download directory instead of asking me. I was able to install OOREXX and THE, but there are still a few issues:
The X11 version (xthe) is not in the RPM file
The THE RPM file doesn’t add the to the edit menu
Either rexxtry is not installed, it’s not in the path or
I’ve got the wrong capitalization
Where can I download the LEAP and Tumbleweed RPM files for xthe? Thanks.
the x11 version is not build or packaged only the text version is available from opensuse you can either build it yourself or open a bug report about the missing x11 THE package over at http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/
the rpm does not change the system mime info but you can always right click on the file (file type) you want to associate with THE then select Open With -> Other… type **the **(or nthe) and check the remember application association (I’m describing KDE Gnome or XFCE or LXDE … are different but similar)
I just installed THE and the is in the path running
I opened ticket 1081477 and the resolution was “That would depend on presence of xcurses, which as far as I know were never in
openSUSE, and also are unlikely to ever be.” What is my best step forward? Thanks.
