is there an effective way to map a lib.so.# to a package from SuSE?

I have never found an effective way to identify the package such a library comes from. rpmfind no longer lists SuSE packages at all, so that is not helpful. Any Suggestions? Steve

How about going into yast/choose install packages/package info; then hit f9 to load source media(your #1 cd) then search for the file. It will report back all packages that contain it.

In the root directory of the SuSE CD is a file called ARCHIVES.gz. Copy this file (which is about 5 megs in size on SuSE 6.4) to somewhere convenient on your HD. Then when you need a library or something, let's say "somelib.so" for the sake of example, you can do a zgrep somelib.so 64ARCHIVES.gz .. which will print out some lines like, ./suse/a1/obscure.rpm: -rwxr-xr-x root root 634880 Apr 29 1996 /lib/somelib.so.6.7.4
From there you just load up yast and install "obscure.rpm".
Hope this helps.. <p> -John
