First question of many to come(probably), I’m having trouble installing Opera, I’m getting this error message. Any suggestions?

Also, it set up my max resolution @ 800x600, Am I supposed to manually edit xorg.conf with the desired resolution?
Re: Opera
Download the version of Opera which is built for Mandriva:
Re: Resolution
Unless you really know what you’re doing, change the monitor properties in the Mandriva Control Center, not by editing the xorg.conf directly.
-AT
That is the Opera installer which I am getting the error with, and I fixed the resolution issue, thanks.
ah, another Opera user!

And another thing, how do I make sure that the following items are installed?
-glibc version 2.2 or 2.3
-X.Org 6.8
-Kernel source code
-Kernel header (include) files
-GCC compiler
-Make Utility
The reason I am asking is because a walkthrough for installing ATI drivers says I have to make sure those components are installed. On a seperate issue, I can now playback mp3’s…sort of. It opens the file no prob and it plays it, but I get no audio output, does this mean that it has not detected my sound card properly?
edit It shows in the control center that it detects my card, and I’ve tried all 3 of the listed drivers, and none seem to work. Linux confuses me 
Can’t you just URPMI Opera? I had no problems doing that.
For the opera error, you need to make sure that the package libstdc++ is installed. I needed to do this with Firefox, just urpmi libstdc++ and choose v6 or v5, whichever). Then once thats installed try running it again. It would be easier if you used the urpmi utility rather than try downloading the rpm file separately, as dependencies are handled automatically.

I know for a fact that Xorg 6.8 will be installed, but if you’re not sure on others just try urpmi and see if they are (not sure proper way to check, but urpmi tells you anyway). Kernel source code isn’t installed by default, so just do urpmi kernel-source and choose full source code (you won’t need to install kernel header packages, full source code includes it). AFAIK, make always installed on the installations of Mandriva I had.
