Greetings all.

After struggling with the .11 source I finally gave up and installed the
SuSE rpms for 0.11.

I did have some issues with version dependencies but forced the install.
This is what I think is causing the problem but I'm not sure how to
resolve it.

Synopsis:

After the rpm installs everything appears to be working when I plug in
my BB 8800. At fist the 8800 warns that there isn't enough current for
charging but the message goes away. I type 'bcharge' but it reports that
it's already set up to the pearl standard.

Btool reports a device id of 0x80989d8 RIM Blackberry 8800 so that's good.

Barrybackup threw a libtar.so.1 is missing error. Well I had installed
libtar however I couldn't find libtar.so.1. After doing some googling
(where would the world be without google?) I saw that libtar.so is part
of gnome-vfs and sure enough when I check my installation I see that
gnome-vfs-2.0 is installed in

/opt/gnome/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libtar.so

So, to get barrybackup to see the .so I did:

ln -s /opt/gnome/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libtar.so \
               /usr/lib/libtar.so.1

The program now runs but when I select backup it throws a

undefined symbol tar_open     error.

Is this due to a version problem? Do I need to move to Open SuSE 10.3
(that will be hard to do) or can I upgrade a module from somewhere (from
where, I have no idea, yast says my kit is up to date). Is there
somewhere I can get a libtar.so.1 for 10.2 that works?

Also, is there some way to run barrybackup as a regular user rather than
as root? I seem to recall reading somewhere that this was possible under
Red Hat but I don't know why only Red Hat.

Any and all advice and (constructive) criticism is appreciated.

Thank you.
