I'm not surprised that it exists. It's a very useful app and it's been around for quite a while. However, I used the YaST search function and found nothing. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, as usual. (I also tried the TomasK instructions, which came up against a wall of missing repo.) It occurs to me that I have on my Mageia machine an rpm that I downloaded from someplace about half a year ago, and I could just copy that rpm and see if YaST would install it, or go down and dirty, and use the rpm install formula, but I AM trying to do things the OpenSUSE way, when I can. (It escapes me that KDE and rpm were invented together--I believe--and why some distros deliberately ignore that facility and invent their own. Makes little sense to me.)
You're in KDE?
You're aware, then, that if you invoke krunner (alt F2) and type (for example) "1000 yards in metres" into it, it will do the conversion for
you?
I was not aware of that. I'd still like to get ConvertAll installed. I have tried several variants of 1-click install, OneClickInstall, and a few other things I can think of, and looked for it in KFind, which has several variant locations, etc., but all respond with some error message. I have no doubt that this is easy if you know how. But I don't!
Try the way Axel Braun posted. If you get an error, stop and post here the exact error you get.
We can not help you unless you tell us what you did exactly and what exact errors you get.
Thanx Carlos. The procedure that Peter posted worked fine! Thanx to Peter also!
