NEDIT was dropped from the SuSE distribution. 9.0 was the last to have it. 9.1 and 9.2 do not. No reason was given. The few of us NEDIT fans sorely miss it. I now use kate/kwrite, or jedit.
A rather trivial Google search gets this: http://www.nedit.org
The nedit prebuilt binary 5.4 32bit (available at the above mentioned location) works fine on Suse 9.1 64bit. My guess is that nedit is not included in the Suse distribution due to (message from building 5.4): ---snip--- ERROR: Bad Open Motif Version: @(#)Motif Version 2.2.2 This version of Open Motif is known to be broken and is thus unsupported by the NEdit developers. It will probably cause NEdit to crash frequently. Check these pages for a more detailed description of the problems with this version: http://www.motifdeveloper.com/tips/tip22.html http://www.motifdeveloper.com/tips/Motif22Review.pdf ... Also, unless you need a customized NEdit you should STRONGLY consider downloading a pre-built binary from http://www.nedit.org, since these are the most stable versions. ---snip--- So you will either have to use the prebuilt 32-bit nedit, or obtain Lesstif 0.92.32/0.93.0/0.93.12/0.93.18, or Open Motif 2.1.30 and build using that.
