Hi, Recently, I installed SUSE 10.0. Now, my wife complains that xpat2 is missing. Obviously, that's a mission-critical application and any Linux installation gets really unusable without it. ;-) Is there any package repository where I can get a current version? Otherwise, I would use the RPM from 9.3 or compile it from source. TIA for an answer, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany

Well, I confirmed that it's not part of any of the usual 10.0 installation sources. However, http://rpm.pbone.net/ has a 9.3 RPM (http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1810317/com/xpat2-1.07-795.i586....). All I can say about that is that "rpm -i --test xpat2-1.07-795.i586.rpm" does not complain. Perhaps you could try that one
TIA for an answer,

It works. Thanks! -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca

That's interesting. I have SUSE 9.2 here, and there was a xpat2-1.07-794.i586.rpm on it that seems to work on 10.0 as well. There's peace again at home. :-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany

Peace is good. Could you satisfy my curiosity and mention what software requires xpat2? I gather it's not part of the distribution, right? Randall Schulz
