Here's what I recieved in response to my query: > Please advise me regardin the release date for SuSE-Linux-6.0. SuSE Linux 6.0 will be released in October 1998, with a possible Beta version available in September. We will also be releasing 5.3 late this summer. > > Also, a summary of new features over 5.2 would be appreciated. At the moment, this request is a bit premature.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Yast, ld.conf.so, and libraries?
by kimon＠wtco.net 09 Jun '98

09 Jun '98

Hello, I am new to linux, and have found YAST very helpful in getting me started. Now I went to install GIMP v1 and lesstif (I want to take a look at Mozilla), along with some GNOME stuff to try out. Both GIMP and GNOME need >= gtk1.01 so I installed the gtk1.0.4 rpm but nothing seems to find it on my system. The install directions mention editing /etc/ld.conf.so and running ldconfig. But yast warns not to edit ld.conf.so and instead edit ld.conf.so.in. Do I then just run ldconfig as I would otherwise? I must say, I am a bit confused over glib and libc5... Does that mean that rpm for redhat 5 or later will not work on SuSE? I installed the GNOME rpms and their suport files because I wanted to take a look at it. Now SuSE does not ship with (I don't think) mico and guile and all those other libraries. Can I still install them, or are they incompatible with my system. (BTW I am running SuSE 5.2) Now if I run ldconfig I get "warning: can't open /usr/lib/libImlib.so (No such file or directory), skipping warning: can't open /usr/lib/ligdk_imlib.so (No such file or directory) skipping" Yast gives similar messages (I suppose it is runing ldconfig in the setup) I know I've put out a lot of questions. Just to recap... Do rpms for Redhat 5 not work with SuSE? Should I make a habit of downloading the source code? Can SuSE users not use things like GNOME or GIMP v1 because of the the libraries? Using SuSE do you still follow directions saying to edit ld.conf.so files or not? If anybody can start explaining all this new stuff to me, I'd be much appreciated.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] X Setup

I cannot get X windows setup. Can anyone tell me the meaning of "errno = 111". I have a Cirrus 5446 card and a Tystar 14" monitor and have tried both XFsetup and config versions to try to get it working but no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I want to get it going so I can run StarOffice and replace all my M$ stuff.

I simply used yast and marked which files to install and then I installed them. It was very easy and it works perfect. You don't have to worry about your config-files since they are in your directory.
