Bricscad will not start on Opensuse 12.3, libgnutls is missing

Hello Sven,
Please check out Knowledge Base 317(this link is also present on the dowload page under the name: " More information about running on 64 bit systems..." but is not always noticed; perhaps we should emphasize its importance somehow and in fact it is sometimes useful for 32 bit as well).
Question number 0 (zero) should provide the answer for openSuse 12.3. Please file a support request if you still encounter problems.
Best regards,

There was a reference in another post for Fedora to create a symlink to the .28 library. I had no luck getting a version of the .26 for opensuse12.3 and the following lets me start the program and work on drawings. So far at least. I am looking forward to getting a full 64 bit version. I did try the 64 bit for ubuntu on Linux mint and that worked straight away.ln -s /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.28 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.260

This error also occurs on SuSE 12.3 32bit
The information here is obsolete: https://www.bricsys.com/common/knowledge/topic.jsp?id=317
"Resolution
(0) The necessary package which contains libgnutls.so.26 can be found here:
32 bit - http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/updates/11.4/i586/libgnutls26-2.8.6-5.8.1.i586.html" Gave me "Connection closed by remote server....etc"You can find it here but it is for 12.2: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/21759008/dir/opensuse_12.x/com/libgnutls26-2.8.6-5.27.1.i586.rpm.html That in turn needs more obsolete dependencies.
By far the easiest solution is to take Michael Hempton's advice, and copy and paste this into a terminal window. (I used a super user terminal): ln -s /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.28 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26
Thanks Michael Hempton for your solution.
