Now I can't patch code-to-be-compiled (that I need for BerkeleyDB) with a simple command line (from within the un-archived BerkeleyDB directory)
patch -p0 < name-of-patch-file
BECAUSE devel packages are NOT installed by default! Just open up YaST, and install the simple development pattern.
that worked just fine when I performed the same compile on the 9.1 and 10.3 install /and I can patch the exact same file set with the exact same command on my Mac/ ! The only conclusion that remains is that the ISO is broken.
FALSE! It is not broken, and if you dish out money and buy the box you will face the exact same result, because those packages are not installed by default. It is not broken, but simply that everything is not installed upfront.
The ONLY reason that I don't run the 10.3 install is that I need some other discontinued files from the 10.3 repository. I actually may have just found a source for them but I'm going to try a reinstall of 13.1 with a decent disk first.
Waste of time. Please listen to us, ask us for advice, and don't go up in a wild chase. And give us the exact and full details of what you are attempting to do! -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
