Adding openSUSE (10.2?) repos to a SLED 10 (SP1) install does not strike me as particularly wise. Even adding SUSE Linux 10.1 repos to a SLED 10 installation doesn't really sit well either.
desktop environment and libgnomecanvas? Should i be able to click on "software" during the install and then search for libgnomecanvas (select the version i want) and then search for gnome desktop
The whole point of SLED is that it provides a stable environment, which implies that's it's not going to be shipping with the latest versions of software. In your particular instance, libgnomecanvas is supplied with SLED (version 2.12).
environment and select that new version and then "install"? I am just looking for the working way to update some of this stuff.
I would guess from your post that you're looking for a more up to date version of libgnomecanvas - possibly a requirement for another piece of software? If this is the case, then I would also imagine that trying to update libgnomecanvas on SLED 10 is going to involve updating a lot of other GNOME components (maybe a complete GNOME version update?), which is not going to be much fun at all. It would appear that the original piece of software you want to install therefore isn't certified to run on SLED 10. Maybe using openSUSE instead of SLED is an option?
