Opera , Not so Fast

On the nforce installation, the Opera installation went smoothly, thanks to the tips from Salasi. Following the same steps in the ATI config, produced different results. The old libstdc++ missing dependency message returned.
What could have gone wrong? Both were Opensuse 10.3 installation, both packages were the same, and yet one seemed to have a difference of opinion.

Thinking back, I recall trying to install the libstdc++ package from rpmfind.com in the nforce PC. After download, clicking on the package produced nothing, just like the OPera installation. Probably, it could have installed itself without confirmation. Could that be the cause for the successful Opera installation ?

A few minutes later:
Opera installed well. So apparently the libstd package's presence made all the difference. On the nforce PC, both the rpms - opera and libstd - were in the same folder which was selected as a software repository. This allowed it's detection and automatic installation when the missing dependency was found.
So the golden rule to installing an application is to have an extensive list of repositories that can be searched for needed packages.

A few more minutes later:
Installing and being able to use the software are two different things. Though the installation finally went smoothly, clicking on the icon briefly shows the opera windows in the taskbar and then nothing. Back to Square 1.
