I am looking for Unison-gtk i am using it on my debian machines, however i am unable to find a rpm or source package. alien does not do the job, seg. fault, i could probably work some more on that one, but it is not that good. i have been googling, searching rpm search, suse and debian but i can not find it. it is highly unusual, but i think the source have imploded regards Even

In SUSE, the unison package contains both. If your DISPLAY is set, the gtk version is used when you run "unison". -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com
Thanks, that was embarrassing. logical and better than two packages. regards Even On Thu, 2005-04-07 at 15:48 -0300, James Oakley wrote:

I'm also trying to use unison on SuSE after using it on Debian. unison is installed on my suse 9.2 and yast says it is 2.9.1-385 x86_64 (it's an Opteron box). But I can't persuade unison to behave in any way I recognize. For example, I've read the suse admin manual and it says I should be able to type unison --help, but that gives: Unknown option --help. Also, following the official unison manual and my Debian experience, I've tried unison -help but that is also an unknown option. The same goes for --version, whilst -version gives: No bytecode file specified. The word bytecode is not even mentioned in the suse manual section or anywhere in the official unison manual so I've no idea what that means! After reading James' reply above, I've unset my DISPLAY but that doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm at a loss. Is this unison or unison-gtk that I'm running? I want to run the CLI/batch version, not unison-gtk, because ultimately I want it to run as a remote server. How can I run unison? Is there some other documentation? Thanks and regards, Dave

Actually, that's wrong. This one's a Xeon box. But I can't persuade unison to behave in any way I
recognize.

Thanks for that, Phil. I tried that and it worked. Then just to be sanitary I used yast to select the '2.9.1-385 i586' package instead of the '2.9.1-385 x86_64' one and that works too :) So it looks like a bug in the 64-bit version. It doesn't work for me on Opterons or Xeons. What's the best method to report a bug like this? Cheers, Dave
