Hi,

I'm trying to build "zypper" but I always get the same error:

CMake Error: Zypp_DIR is not set. It must be set to the directory
containing ZyppConfig.cmake in order to use Zypp.

Is it possible that you have installed libzypp-devel from an old
distribution? That only will lead to problems, remove it.

Further, if you have compiled libzypp from svn, and then installed it into
a prefix different from e.g. /usr, you need to tell this to zyppers cmake
via the ZYPP_PREFIX variable. I for instance have to do:

% mkdir zypper/build; cd zypper/build
% cmake -DZYPP_PREFIX=/matz/svn/zypp/inst.trunk ..

/matz/svn/zypp/inst.trunk is the directory I used as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
for satsolver and libzypp.


Ciao,
Michael.
