MGA8-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50 No installation issues. No wiki, no previous updates, so run: # urpmq --whatrequires lib64tinyxml0 and got some 35 answers, picked one I thought I might understand and run: $ strace -o libtinyxml.txt pokerth I must admit I don't get it at all, but I run it as one user, pushed some buttons to which the application reacted, and in the trace I see one call to /lib64/libtinyxml.so.0 Good enough for me, unless someone else has better ideas.
