Hi everyone We have 6.3 installed but with lots of updated libraries and executables installed via tarballs e.g. the latest glib-1.2.7 and gtk+-1.2.7. (to install the excellent new sane-1.0.2) My fear is that when I 'update' to 6.4, some of the tar.gz installs may be overwritten by the SuSE rpm's. I see that normally the tarballs install in /usr/local/bin whereas the rpm's go to /usr/bin. Is it intentional in Linux to distinguish between the tar and the rpm installation in this manner?
