And when it was finally installed and being aware that kernel 3.8.1-2 was available I installed that after which I had to compile the nVidia driver (it was either compiling it for the 3.7.9 kernel in 12.3 or "going all the way" with the latest stalbe kernel).
So, both make and gcc are important.
Hell, what degree of difficulty is there to add a 358Kb and a 4Kb file for make and gcc, respectively, to the default install list?
Hi It's a little more than a few KB's? The following NEW packages are going to be installed: binutils gcc gcc47 glibc-devel linux-glibc-devel make site-config 7 new packages to install. Overall download size: 11.5 MiB. After the operation, additional 52.2 MiB will be used. Why not add the kernel-devel files as well... aren't they needed as well for building... Your already installing the next kernel as well, so it seems a moot point since your not running the released kernel, I only have 3.7.10-1.1-desktop installed on my test system? PS, I use gimp so the help file is useful, I do have an nvidia system but it's not running at present... -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64) Kernel 3.4.28-2.20-desktop up 7 days 2:23, 3 users, load average: 0.03, 0.11, 0.13 CPU Intel® i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | GPU Intel® Ironlake Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
