I don't know where glib is and I haven't been able to find it. And if I
did know where it was, I don't know how to indicate that in a command
line.

Tried, but now I have dependency issues. I've been trying to resolve a
lot of them too:
"error: failed dependencies:
pkgconfig >= 0.8 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1
glib = 1.3.15 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1
libglib-1.3.so.15 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1
libgobject-1.3.so.15 is needed by glib-devel-1.3.15-1"
I probably need to find these files now, but I keep running into
deadends with this approach. These files probably depend on other files
which I don't have and so on.
I like linux a lot, but from a newbie's point of view, it's been a hell
of a struggle just to get a few basic programs outside the distrubition
(and some within) to run. But I'm not going back.

Sorry, I didn't really look at the file names. I just need the latest
version of glib to run this. But I have had a lot of problems with file
chasing regardless.

You have kpackage. Start it up the same way in a konsole, but don't use any capital letters. It's also in the menu (at least the KDE menu, heh) System->Configuration->KPackage . Like Anders said, you don't rpm -i an .src.rpm, with a src.rpm, in a konsole you need to do this (as root)... rpm -rebuild foo.src.rpm , then after waiting for it to do its thing, at the end you'll see something like 'wrote /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/foo.rpm' , you can then do cp /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/foo.rpm /home/you, or just go to the directory it's at and do rpm -i (in a konsole) or open konqueror and click on it and YaST will install it. Often times, it's easiest to get all the .rpm's you'll need for the app, put them all in an empty directory, and then type rpm -i *.rpm (while in that directory of course) and IIRR, it will install what needs to be installed in the order it needs it.

Objection! that's not what I said. You can very well do rpm -i on a src.rpm, it just doesn't mean that you're "installint the rpm", it just means that the source, patches (if any) and spec file are copied to the /usr/src/packages tree, where you can fiddle with it, possibly creating a modified rpm. All I said was that you didn't have to do it over again every time you install a dependency --rebuild is of course another option, but then you get an identical rpm to the one SuSE provides, which usually isn't what you want if you're messing with the source

Okay, okay! No need to bite my head off. I just read it wrong I guess, and all I was trying to do was add my small piece of copper to the 'help', it isn't like I accused you of being an axe murderer or something. As for you Fergus, I can't remember if I chose all of KDE or not. Usually I go for picking all the things I want, instead of letting those 'packaged' selections lump a bunch of stuff onto my hdd that I don't want or use, heh. I thought for sure though that kpackage would be a part of kde no matter what one did. Strange. Oh well, at least everything's been answered...I think.

Small point, perhaps, but actually, I don't have it - and I pretty much accepted the default software selection, apart from adding in the odd thing. I don't mind not having it, because I don't want it at the minute ... but it does seem quite possible for Chris not to have it on his system after accepting defaults. Maybe you selected the 'all of kde' option? However, it shouldn't take him many minutes to put it on there. Cheers Fergus

glib2-devel is needed. If you're going to compile a program that needs package foo to run, you need foo-devel to compile it.

Got them at rpmfind.net. But it didn't specifically say it was for 8.2.
It said for i386.
