Jade & others,
I'm installing on slackware. I've got 8.1.6 installed successfully on another older slackware box, and am trying to get 8.1.7 on this one. Janine emphasizes installing the glib patches, and I haven't done that since before the first failed install, so I did that again. But I'm working remotely, and the X-Win client is crashing whenever runInstaller starts up. Need to give up & come back to it later.
Also noticed threads in the forum with info on how to fix the root.sh script problem.
Might be outa luck if I ever get to where the 8.1.7.4 patches would be installed, not having a metalink account. But since we have an academic license on my campus there might be someone I can find who had the account.
