WPS Office - Again!

Hi All

I know this has come up before but has anyone got WPS Office running under Scorpion?

Was working great under Orion but now I have upgraded having some real probs getting it installed

This is what I tried so far;

gbentley@q4os-desktop:~/Documents$ sudo wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

I get the icons in the office menu and the splash screen comes up but then disappears real quick.

Trying from cli;

gbentley@q4os-desktop:/usr/bin$ ./wps
./wps: line 38: 29564 Segmentation fault      ${gInstallPath}/office6/${gApp} ${gOptExt} ${gOpt} "$@"
gbentley@q4os-desktop:/usr/bin$               

Did I do something obviously wrong lol?

Re: WPS Office - Again!

Does having two different png libs create issues?

Re: WPS Office - Again!

Segmentation fault... WPS is trying to access a protected memory location causing a crash. Clearly an issue with WPS and Q4OS as it works fine with the Buntus/Mint.

Re: WPS Office - Again!

dpkg will not look for dependencies - gdebi will - it may help??

have you tried using the older version of WPS Office from 2016 in case they introduced something silly?

Good suggestion bin!, I just tried Version 10.1.0.5672~a21 and it worked without issue. And just to note I used the linpng12-0 from Jessie rather than the Ubuntu one but I don't know if it will make a difference.

Apt (not apt-get) is now capable of doiong direct local installation of .deb files with dependency resolution.  However, in this case, because libpng12-0 no longer exists in the stretch repos, it would not help.

It doesn't make a difference, depending on which Ubuntu repo it is, the one from Jessie and Ubuntu are the same file just renamed.

Not really true, I extracted both the packages and libpng12.so.0 (and libpng12.so.0.50.0) is 154.9k in Jessie and only 146.4 in the Ubuntu version quoted in original wget line, so there is at least 8.5k difference between them, although what that 8.5k consists of I haven't looked into.

Re: WPS Office - Again!

well, like I said, it depends on which Ubuntu version the libpng12-0 package is from.  The version in 14.04 should match Jessie, while 16.04 should be newer (no idea why it's older) and 17.10 shouldn't have it anymore.

Re: WPS Office - Again!

This may help - I work with MX-16 and the latest version installs WPS fine - as it should being jessie based.

The attached deb is the libpng file they use - I have installed in Scorpion and it permits installation of the latest 64 bit WPS

Re: WPS Office - Again!

Feren OS based on Mint is also using WPS Office as default.
