I'm not exactly sure how you manage to get the program to run, if tar_open
is not defined. Perhaps gnome-vfs's libtar.so is just a plugin, and not
the actual library?
Out of curiosity, try:
objdump -T /usr/lib/libtar.so.1 |grep tar_open
And see what you get.
When I compiled Barry for opensuse 10.2, I used the Fedora 8 src rpm
of libtar. It's too bad libtar is not more standard in the RPM based distros.
You can get the source rpm for libtar here:
ftp://ftp.nrc.ca/pub/systems/linux/redhat/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/source/SRPMS/libtar-1.2.11-9.fc8.src.rpm
Then:
rpm -i libtar-1.2.11-9.fc8.src.rpm
(become root)
cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba libtar.spec
rpm -i ../RPMS/*/libtar*rpm

You shouldn't have to upgrade to OpenSUSE 10.3... just build a custom
libtar rpm for yourself.

It's not just for RedHat. I've heard that some folks have gotten it
to work in Suse too. Make sure you have ConsoleKit installed, as that
should handle the permissions of your usb devices, based on who is
logged in.
