and Hardy Heron").
The 'crash report' kept on appearing in an endless loop until I 'killed'
the opera process; when I clicked on 'read report' I got the dialogue box
about an existing session already running (which there wasn't).
Uninstalling proved problematic too - urpme refused to find the package!
I resorted to
rpm -e --allmatches opera
which did the trick, and I was able to install
opera-9.64.gcc4-shared-qt3.i386.rpm I'd been using before. But somewhere
along the line, my bookmarks file was replaced with what I suppose is the
current 'new installation' one; very annoying! (I had a back-up that
wasn't horribly out of date, fortunately). Other settings seem to have
survived - including the 'quick dial'.

During the beta testing, I was running the qt4 version. When opera 10
went final, the download page only provides the qt3 version, which
hangs in libc on my mandriva 2009.1 system.
If you want to try the qt4 version, you can get it from
http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/rc-4583/intel-linux/

You can also get the final version here:

Just got around to having another go at updating; I went to the link
posted by SA and got opera-10.00.gcc4.qt4.i386.rpm which seems so far to
run fine here. In fact it even picked up the bookmarks that seemed to
have been lost with my previous attempted update! (A little digging
reveals that the bookmarks file now has the remarkably obvious name of
bookmarks.adr instead of the opera6.adr used previously).
Thank you both for your suggestions :))
