Why else does this work in a plain, fresh openSUSE 11.4, 12.1, and 12.2 RC 1 install?
Maybe, because in a plain and fresh install there is unlikely to be cutting edge beta software being tested? Power to the brave ones amongst us who bother to test.
Test it with a plain and fresh openSUSE 11.4, 12.1, or even 12.2 RC 1 install.
http://lists.openSUSE.org/opensuse-factory/2012-07/msg00486.html has the full version of the reply. Please be this nice and learn how to handle mail threads, replies, and how to quote mails. A partial quote does not help. Instead it is misleading and results in never ending pseudo discussions like this one.
Don't you mean a TestRoot with nothing installed on it except the program being tested?
See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771516 for all the details. And it's not only me who counted the report as invalid. Several people acked and others already left this never ending thread.
SuSE doesn't support building (developing) on a plain and fresh openSUSE 11.4, 12.1 or even 12.2 RC1 system, why should one have different expectations for testing or running programs be different?
As running and using a system is a different task than development software. Very likley 80% of our users are happy with a default install which doesn't include a compilers, sources like headers, etc. Due to the software pattern driven software install option it's easy to pull an huge amount of development tools in with one click or even command line call.
One can well imagine why this would be the 'holy grail' of those producing SW. It seems like it would greatly reduce development and, especially, testing overhead.
Such general statements don't lead to anything useful. If you like to enhance openSUSE please be this nice and file bug reports or feature requests and make submit requests which enhance the system. Which such general statements you don't help the community nor do you motivate others to spent further time by helping you.
