I'll mention that is is not possible to compile aria2-0.9.0.tar.bz2 in suse 10.1, a dependency problem: it needs libxml 2.6.24, and 10.1 has 2.6.23. That support is necesary for the metalink part of the program.
I opened a thread about this in opensuse, please answer there. I just want to call your attention to that; me and many others will not be able to use metalink this run, I'm afraid.
Thanks for checking that out Carlos. I wonder if the config files can be changed to depend on 2.6.23. It used to be 2.6.26, but was lowered for Ubuntu which depends on 2.6.24.
I don't know how to do that, it's over me. If you have a patch, or instructions, I can certainly try. I'm not a Linux developer; I was an MsDos one. For the few things I write for my use, I don't use configure scripts, no need, thus I don't know how they work, execpt vaguely. What I did was to try the previous aria version (aria2-0.8.1.tar.bz2) but it also has the same problem.
Or maybe a newer libxml2 could be supplied.
That's a no-no for suse: they never change package versions for a distro once delivered, unless forced to.
It would be really nice if people running SuSE could use metalink to download upgrades. It seems like binaries are available on most other platforms, so most others will be able to use it.
There is no link in the wiki page to any metalink client in rpm form: people are forced to compile their own. I have been pointed to one in the guru repository, but I don't trust it. I don't think many people will use metalink with so many dificulties... we from the mass are not using 10.2 yet. I'm running the configure for "wxDownload Fast" at this very moment. I'll see if I can use that client instead. [...] No problems there. Let's see the make... It "made" in 6 minutes, and it runs. I'll have to find something to try it on ;-) - -- Saludos Carlos E.
