open the ymp file with an editor.

Yes, but later you were on a Linux machine. You had to transfer somehow the ymp file to the Linux machine in order to run OCICLI on it.

Why sudo? Always prefer "su -".

It is one click in Linux. Anyway, you didn’t' look at this paragraph of the previous post: LA> The page doesn't seem to offer other download formats, C> C> Yes, it does.

Poo! I have that, er wait -- I have it for 13.2, the 1-above is for 13.1? Ow!

Sure. I did the testing with 13.1, so I get results for 13.1. That's obvious, no? :-) The page either detects your openSUSE version, or you configure it yourself. At the right of the search box there is a little wrench tool. Click there, select your version.

Already have that. What I wanted is what was "advertised": @ https://inkscape.org/en/download/

Official Release Packages: Stable release >>>0.91<<< intended for production use is available. (OpenSUSE: Package Search => ymp file for 0.48...)

I was looking for the current version and but the Package Search only turns up the version for 13.1? Ow!

See above. Clicking around, the page shows the official version for 13.2 as 0.48.2, and clicking in "Show unstable packages" you can see version "0.91" in the graphics repo.

...

...

...

sudo OCICLI inkscape.ymp /usr/sbin/yast: line 48: test: too many arguments

Why sudo? Always prefer "su -".

Why? Wouldn't su - have cleared your home dir and asked for a password?

Unsure. I don't trust it to get the "/root" directory.

Hey -- now when I click on the suse package search it takes me to a page for 0.91 / Tumbleweed?! Wazzup w/that? That sure isn't what I would have gotten had the 1-click worked yesterday. Guess it's good that it didn't work right away?

It depends on the cookies stored by each browser.

C> Yes, it does. Click on the grey "Show other versions" below the big C> direct install. Recommended.

Saw that later.

...

So, did you try?

---

Tried the various tools that should have worked, but they were a waste of time (in that they didn't work, and I would have installed the wrong version).

You did not click on the right point.

I don't see any way that page could have been in my cache, its from too long ago... Just weird.

Cookies. That's the way it remembers your configured release.

...

...

Sigh.. glad someone made it easy w/1-click...:-(

It is one click in Linux.

---would have been, for the wrong version -- whereas the 'right' version doesn't work:

It should get you the official version, the oss version, for the configured release. 13.1 for me, 13.2 for you...

I've was trying to get openSUSE to support multiple versions, "side-by-side" as windows has for at least the past 7+ years. It sure would have made many things so much easier. Why doesn't SUSE allow multiple versions of files to exist side-by-side?

It does. Linux does. But *you* have to compile the package to use a different directory. Remember that it is Linux policy that the directory for a package is chosen at compile time, whereas on Windows you do that at install time. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
