You are dealing with an older dummy here, but too old! I'm wanting to know if there is a way to install tarballs properly in Suse. To an extent each version of linux I have tried are different, but in each I have found it impossible to install a tarball. Thanks! John
I've installed a few, but the method often depends on the specific tarball. Generally, you have to untar the file, and do a make and make install, though I prefer to replace make install with checkinstall, which creates an RPM file, that can be managed with Yast. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
