This is for OldSarge........... Ok, here's what I did to install Kmymoney on 9.3 (should be exactly the same on 9.2) 1) Downloaded the kmymoney....... ......tar.bz2 file from sourceforge.net 2) cd to /usr/local (this is where I install all tar files that I get. 3) Since the filename ends in .bz2 I know that it is a bzip file, and this requires one of the *three* possible options for tar... the 'j' option tar.gz === the 'z' option just .tar == neither 'j' nor 'z' 4) I downloaded the .tar.bz2 file to /ftparea which is where I download everything. So my command to untar is: tar xjvf /ftparea/mymoney2-0.7.2.tar.bz2 5) cd into the newly created /usr/local/kmymoney2-0.7.2 directory 6) Looking around, I see a configure command so I issue it: ./configure It does a lot of checking and completes with the message: Good - your configure finished. Start make now If you got an error message from the ./configure, then you are probably missing something. 7) I then issue the make command. make This compiles a whole bunch of stuff and completes without error. 8) Then I ran: make install which also completed without error. I should now have an installed version of kmymoney on my 9.3 system. 9) But where is it? Since it is a kde program, it is probably in /opt/kde3/bin ls /opt/kde3/bin/kmy* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2005-06-15 20:07 /opt/kde3/bin/kmymoney -> ./kmymoney2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5264508 2005-06-15 19:37 /opt/kde3/bin/kmymoney2 Amazing!! I did not find an entry in the kde START set, but there might be one. In any event, I can make an icon for it on the desktop. Now this is *all* it took. No big deal assuming you have all the pieces on your system and that's not hard to do. This is a very stock 9.3 system but I do have a lot of things loaded on it. C compiler for one. And..... if any of the above steps had failed, it would in NO WAY be the fault of SuSE. They didn't write the program, or provide it to me. The TAR command was the easiest part of the whole deal but the above is how you deal with NINETY-FIVE PERCENT of tar files. (my estimate) Enjoy....

Why not use the rpm built by SuSE *specifically* for 9.2 and keep the rpm database sound? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

Because the OP was having problems with TAR and because no one said there was an RPM available. I have no interest in using KMYM. I did it as an exercise.

Commendable, but the OP professes a great lack of knowledge of linux and the linux/SuSE ways. I would say that the installation of tar balls is contrary to a newby's efforts to maintain his own system. SuSE is rpm based and, for most noob's, the installation of tar balls to a SuSE system will only cause him frustration in package handling/installation. But, this is my opinion. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

A valid point but the OP was complaining that the tar command and his inability to use it was SuSE's fault. I thought I would set that straight. I suspect that the OP thought that TAR would do the entire job for him, that of installing the package, and when it didn't work that way, he complained it was tar's fault.
I am currently in programming classes where we use .net and I would like to use mono on Suse9.3. I have ensured that it was installed but I don't know how to open it.

What you mean to open it? mono is a runtime engine and class library. If you already has a program, compiled for mono, you execute it with: mono myprog.exe If you want to write and compile mono programs, you can either use any text editor to write the code, and the use the compiler (mcs) to compile it, or you can take a look at mono-develop - a mono port of CSharpDevelop open source IDE. I think there is a package in SuSE 9.3. Also, you can use eclipse with the appropriate addin for c#. For more information check mono site: http://mono-project.com/Main_Page mono-develop: http://monodevelop.org/ Cheers and happy coding Sunny

6) Looking around, I see a configure command so I issue it:
./configure
When configuring on your standard SuSE desktop, shouldn't you do: ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3/ I'm pretty sure that the source will only put things in /usr/otherplaces unless directed otherwise with the prefix directive. I thought that SuSE was one of the few who used the /opt subdirectory for KDE.
It does a lot of checking and completes with the message:
Good - your configure finished. Start make now
If you got an error message from the ./configure, then you are probably missing something.
7) I then issue the make command.
make
This compiles a whole bunch of stuff and completes without error.
8) Then I ran:
make install
I'm pretty sure you should do the root thing prior to running that command by typing: su and than entering your root password. xxxxxxx than make install The only drawback relative to going the source route is that you have to manually remove it if later on down the road you find a good RPM package for it. If you install the package without removing the original source program, you may have issues attempting to run that program. Regards, Ken
