I am sure this is a SuSE yast2 newbie problem. But I have read and re-read the SLES 8 for AMD64 installation manual, The SuSE 9.0 installation manual and I have Googled for hours already. Help is appreciated.
The specific problem is with Apache2, but I believe I should be using yast2 for all of my RPM installs, if I understand correctly.
I downloaded the Apache2 rpms for SuSE 9.0 AMD64 from SuSE'S ftp site, expecting/hoping to be able to install them on my SLES 8 for
You cannot directly install 9.0 RPMS on SLES8. The 9.0 RPMS require a newer glibc. Updating glibc is not trivial and has some traps. In addition apache has lots of references to other packages, so if you fulfilled all dependencies you would end up with half of the 9.0 in your SLES8 and likely quite some breakage. The better way probably would be to recompile the source rpm on SLES8. Even with that you will likely need to fix quite a few things by hand. -Andi
