I have installer xfce-4.2 on 2 laptops running SuSE 9.2. In both cases I used the graphical installer. From the xfce homepage click on "Graphical Installer", the installer page advises you of certain packages that need to be included for your distribution (I believe there were 3 packages that I needed to add first using YaST), then select from the available installers and you are a minutes away from having a working xfce desktop.
Can not comment on the dependency issue that you have because the xfce installer "just works".
This is a good solution providing: You do not intend to maintain your system via Yast2 or rpm or apt or red-rug..... as it puts files on your system in places not compatable with the SuSE way and does not update the rpm database and may/will cause dependency problems with Xfce4 and/or the rest of your SuSE system in the future. Unless you are *very* knowledgable in linux systems, you are playing with fire if you do not stay within the Yast2/rpm forum. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
