A basic question: I do not have clear whether rpms in the RedHat repository could be used by SUSE ... can they ?

I have used redhat rpms for some stuff; but others seem to have problems with locations of things and failed dependencies. On the failed dependencies issue, I have verified that I have the libs or whatever installed but still get these on occasion. Other occasions, redhat rpm files go right on. I could not get gtk and glib right so decided to do a compile. Wow!!! Thats quite a process :) The rpm files seem to be a jungle of dependencies and install requirements. It tooks gtk 1.1.latest almost 30 minutes to compile here.It was an interesting time. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
