Installation in OpenSUSE 11.1

[fkereki]

Hi! I'm trying to install OSS 4 in my OpenSUSE 11.1 machine, but I keep getting

Code: Select all

# rpm -Uvh oss-linux-v4.2-2000.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        kernel-devel is needed by oss-linux-v4.2-2000.i386

The problem is, there's no "kernel-devel" package in OpenSUSE. I already have the kernel, its source, its headers, binutils, make, and the GTK and GLIB libraries... What's the equivalent of "kernel-devel" in OpenSUSE? What packages are specifically required?

I'm not sure (sorry, Debian user) - maybe you have enough...
You can search for 'kernel-devel' in rpmfind.net and see what other rpm-based distros put there and which OpenSUSE package has these files. Please post here the result, and we'll ask the devs to fix the package.

You can also try to force the install, especially if you already have these files.

Hai,
it'd have the kernel name on the end, so probably kernel-default-devel
or if you're on a high memory system, kernel-pae-devel

if you cant find that, you might not have the right repos in yast, but the standard ones should cover it
Yast really is fantastic ^_^

Is there an answer to this? I also have this error with Suse 11.2 but have installed all of the kernel-xxxx-devel packages.

Install gcc, make and kernel-default-devel. Then install with "rpm --no-deps -ivh" (etc.). Tested on a fresh OpenSuse 11.2 install under KVM.
