Installing TAX2002 on SuSE Linux 8.0

Support knowledgebase (80tax2002)

Symptom

You want to install t@x2002 on SuSE Linux 8.0. After executing the installation script install.x, an error message appears to report that the program inetupdate.exe has been finished with an unknown error.

Cause

The most likely cause is a wine package incompatible with this version of SuSE Linux.

Solution

Install and compile the wine source package from the t@x2002 CD-ROM.

Preparations:

Starting from a standard package selection, install the following packages using the module software from the YaST2 Control Center:

gcc        series d
flex       series d
make       series d
yacc       series d
xdevel     series x
binutils   series d
cups-devel series d

If you updated to SuSE Linux 8.0, so have stored some data in the t@x2002 directory /home/user_name/c/programme/tax2002/daten2, make a backup of these data records before reinstalling t@x2002.

Installing t@x2002:

Start the installation script install.x and follow the installation instructions for t@x2002 up to selecting a compatible wine binary package.

Since no compatible version is available, enter "n". This installs the wine source package winebase.022.tgz and starts a compilation script for the source code. This process might last up to 120 minutes in a computer with a 166MHz processor and 64MB RAM.

During this process, you will be asked, among other things, if you want to install the wine source package, if the script should be started, and if the menu entries should be generated. Answer these questions with yes and complete the installation.

Both the procedure described in these lines to compile the wine source package and its possible consequences exceed the scope of the free installation support.
