KAT under SuSE 9.3?
I installed KAT from the packages provided by Novell. When I tried to run it, the assistant told me that I need a kernel with Inotify. Anybody here that knows how to get Inotify (likly a SuSE rpm) installed here on my SuSE 9.3 system? I don't want to recompile my kernel so is there another option?

There is no other option. Inotify can not be provided as an rpm package, as it is just a kernel module. You must get the patch, apply it to your kernel sources and then recompile it. Anyway cat is very unstable. Don't know if it is worth trying :(

OK, thank you anyway. Patrick -- Patrick Trettenbrein - patrick.trettenbrein@kdemail.net GnuPG fingerprint: 312B 561F B0E9 1DB5 CE5B A9CB 831A 1994 E9A3 0010
Here is the Suse 9.3 inotify enabled kernel : http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/kernel-rml/suse-93-i586 On Monday 01 August 2005 23:07, Jorge Luis Arzola wrote:

That's odd. What I recall is that it told me some capabilities would be unavailable without the notification module. Presumably it will not be able to detect when files or directories that have been indexed have changed and automatically and incrementally reflect those changes. In any event, Kat will certainly index your files without Inotify. Whether any given user considers Kat "ready for prime time" or not obviously depends on their criteria. I know I've gotten far further with this build than any of the others I've tried to date. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm rather strongly motivated to get Kat working, since I have a big pile of documents that I have never bothered to organize or index in any way.

Have you -- or anyone else for that matter -- gotten the kat-0.6.1 rpm for 9.3 installed yet? I've been searching Google for a 'libsqlite3-dev (3.2.1-1)' rpm. No luck yet. `:( Regards. -- Christopher Shanahan
Well, I didn't try to install KAT, but I know that there is sqlite-3.1.3 and sqlite-devel-3.1.3 on the SuSE CD's / DVD. I don't know why you are searching for exactly libsqlite3-dev-3.2.1-1, but I'm rather sure, the packages from the SuSE media should work. If you have sqlite-devel-3.1.3 installed and the rpm is still asking for libsqlite3-dev-3.2.1-1, then just ignore it with the rpm flag --nodeps. I think that should work. If not, just uninstall the KAT rpm again, you cannot break anything by that. But you can break something by installing any unknown third party libsqlite3-dev-3.2.1-1.i586.rpm Best, Daniel Am Montag, 8. August 2005 21:17 schrieb Christopher Shanahan:

Yes. I'm aware of those pkgs. Thank you.

Actually, I was searching for a specific file that is required by the newest kat rpm, kat-0.6.1. I spent a great deal of time today searching the Net for the file (libsqlite3-3.0.8.so.0) without success. I could only find a reference to the file from an older SuSE pkg. I wanted to find out if anyone else encountered the same problem yet. And if so, how they were able to resolve the problem -- assuming they were able to resolve it at all.
If you have sqlite-devel-3.1.3 installed and the rpm is still asking for libsqlite3-dev-3.2.1-1, then just ignore it with the rpm flag --nodeps.
I'll give that some thought.

True. Thank you for your thoughts. -- Christopher Shanahan
