You can help me there!. For that error, the problem is 10.2 has a old swig, in OBS I solve this by backporting swig only for building.Actually there is a 10.2 satsolver there. But libzypp is another story ;-)

Duncan, in my own playground (home:dimstar) I just compiled (so far only for openSUSE 10.2) libsatsolver (works indeed with a later swig) and libzypp compiled fine too. There is just a very awkward thing in the spec file, which I fail to understand: # %if 0%{?suse_version} # BuildRequires: hicolor-icon-theme rpm-devel update-desktop-files # %endif On what ground should any package require hicolor-icon-theme as a BuildRequires? Maybe somebody has an idea.. I did not find anything useful in this file rpm. anyhow, at the moment zypper for 10.2/x86_64 is being built and I should soon see the result of that... for i586 it's still scheduled... and if this works, I can soon start to fire up a VM and make some tests... for sure I will kill yast with it (as yast depends on libzypp.so.215 on a 10.2 installation... but as I wrote in my first mail, this is not a big issue (yet) for me... but of course if we want to offer it publically, this should be solved somehow to... so we'd need to update the whole yast stack on such a machine.
