The bison -y option was supposed to make bison yacc compatible. And calling yacc was the same as calling bison with the -y option. But Not OLD yacc compatible. Fortunately the original yacc package from 8.2 is now found in the byacc package in 12.3. I'm happy SuSE included byacc in 12.3 and hope they continue to do so. My original problem is solved by using byacc instead of bison/yacc.

[opensuse] QGIS and OSM from OBS
by Roger Oberholtzer 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Is anyone using QGIS with Open Street Map data? Specifically with the QGIS version available from OBS. Although I am interested in oS 12.3, experiences on any oS release are welcome. In my case, none of the built-in OSM functions/ICONS are appearing anywhere. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] SuSE Linux release version search
by Mark Hounschell 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

I have an executable that works but am now unable to build it from source. I'm currently running 12.3 and I've gone back as far as 10.3 to no avail. It is a lex/yacc thing and I am lex/yacc ignorant. I can tell from the executable which gcc and glibc were used. I'm looking for the SuSE release that came with that particular version of gcc/glibc. #strings -a executable_ELF_file | grep "GCC: (" GCC: (GNU) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) . . and #strings -a executable_ELF_file | grep -i "GLIBC" GLIBC_2.1 GLIBC_2.0 /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3.2/csu /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3.2/csu /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3.2/csu . . Not sure how to go about finding which release had these versions. Anyone?

It was actually the flex and yacc/bison packages I really needed the info for. I was going to install the 8.2 to find out. This is much easier. Thanks again.

[opensuse] Classic music
by Kaare Rasmussen 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Hi I've failed before but I want to try again after having purchased a copy of Verdi's complete works. The task is to rip all my classic cd's, organize them and make it easy to play. Now, AIUI most audio players know about songs, or tracks, and albums, or cd's. Classic music needs a little bit more control. A piece of work can span several cd's (as most operas do), or two complete opposites can share a cd (I have one with Beethoven's Pastorale symphony and Tjajkovskij's Pathétique. What I want is a way to just find a piece of work, e.g. a recording of Don Giovanni, 3 cd's and play it, or just listen to the cavatina from the same opera, having the choice from all the recordings I have. So I wanted to try Amarok. I tried to rip a cd containing Carl Nielsen's 3rd and 4th symphonies (Espansiva and Inextinguishable) but immediately ran into trouble. The composer wasn't recognized, and I want to classify the genre as well. Best as two levels (classic/symphony), but there seemed to be no way to tell Amarok that. Sure, there is an option to edit information about the tracks, but all fields (Genre, Composer, etc) were disabled. Not sure that is the way to do it either. Any best practice advise for that, or for any other player? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
