How would I do that? I have found moonlite.rpm on an old SUSE 7.3 disk, but
not at all to my surprise, can't install it:
GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._pk_5ftransaction_5ferror.Code20:
MIME type not supported
Attempting to run the executable file directly results in:
./moonlight: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
even with libXext.so.6 and libXext.so.6.4 in the same directory.

I don't know, but a quick web search for silverlight leads me to think it is
not. The original question was about the moonlight 3D drawing program
available from tucows and archive.org -

Good question. The capability I am looking for is to create a 3d object
and tile an image on to the surface thereof.
