Downloaded (I thought) BandLab, but did not apparently get an installable rpm file. Looking on Google doesn't seem to find it. Can I run Bandlab on Tumbleweed, and if so, how? (None of the other midi apps I've installed seem to work.) Thanx--doug

Well, We used to have webpin (it was fixed, but the databases have been down for months) and I think osc can do a search as well. You need to search the build-service repos for BandLab and see if somebody is already building for openSUSE (if it isn't part of the normal distro -- I've not heard of it before) If you cannot find someone who is building it for openSUSE -- step right up and it is your turn to open a build-service account, write a .spec file for the package and create your own RPM. Easiest way is to download the source and make sure you can build it with the normal ./configure, make. (or aclocal, autoconf, ./configure, make, if there is no ./configure provided originally) Once you have it building, then you just tell the .spec file what you did to build it. (grab an existing spec from a simple package and just update it for BandLab rather than trying to write one from source) You may have to install a few dependencies to get it to build. (try - let it fail, read the error, search for the missing library name, rinse, repeat until it builds) If you have any problems, post to opensuse-packaging@opensuse.org and the smart folks there can solve just about any build issue you need. -- David C.
