personal edition is not intended for people who compile things. It doesn't ship with any -devel packages, I didn't even think it shipped with autotools, gcc or make. It's clearly pointed out in the advertising. You bought the wrong version. Do tell. Couldn't fine the 9.1 update so had to stay within budget.

if you think you need some Dev package just wait for the rpm to be on suse ftp. just a thought. ===== \\|// - ?

For one thing, you're trying to compile things with suse 9.1 personal. The personal edition is not intended for people who compile things. It doesn't ship with any -devel packages, I didn't even think it shipped with autotools, gcc or make. It's clearly pointed out in the advertising. You bought the wrong version. Your point is well taken. I am still a bit puzzled by the fact that on the SuSE FTP site, v9 has the zlib-devel, et.al., listed and yet the 9.1 Personal has none of those. Does this mean that I will be able to d/l the necessary devel libs at a later date from SuSE's FTP? It would seem so, if v9 is any indication.

Indeed, it's the 9.0 professional (with a few modifications)that's available, and as you noticed you can download the 9.1 pro packages right now, just not from ftp.suse.com

As for your other comment, I'm pretty sure I've seen comments from other users in Texas, USA who have the update. If nothing else, then suse USA sells it That's interesting. I thought that was where I was looking, but perhaps not. Thanks. :-)

I'm not sure which comment you're replying to here, so I'll do both.

No, red carpet is not on ftp.suse.com

Yes, http://www.suse.com and clicking on 'online store' will bring you to http://store.suse.com/dr/sat4/ec_Main.Entry?SP=10007&SID=40017&CID=0&CUR=84 0&DSP=0&PGRP=0&CACHE_ID=0

where 9.1 update is available at just $59.95 I wonder why other places only offer the Personal & Pro & not Update!? Amazon, Best Buy, elinux, Cheap Bytes, (et.al.) & all other places listed on

At any rate, having gotten burned big-time on 9, I decided to take the Personal one first so I could make sure things worked. Apparently, this box is one of those that likes to holler about things, and 9 was a huge PITB for that. As far as I can tell only a day or two into it, 9.1 Personal rocks. <G> - -- ...CH Avoid doing business with 'The Link' ISP.
