I just uninstalled ther 5.4 rpm for Suse and tried to install the 6 alpha, but it is made for Redhat as various file locations are not found. Is there an install or init script to make this version work with Suse EL 9?

This replaces most of the old <br>Info API. <br> <br> * Add non-blocking HTTP requests. This will allow requests to <br> external sources to not interrupt the currently playing audio. <br> Update plugins to use the new API. Any Plugin that wishes to <br>make <br> a HTTP request (GET or POST) should use this API. <br> <br> * Changes to the string() API - $client->string() should be used <br>where <br> $client is available. Plugins should return the token for <br>getDisplayName() <br> rather than the string itself. <br> <br>Command Line API: <br> <br> * Extended CLI, allowing more access to server information - <br>Fred. <br> <br>Skin Developer changes: <br> <br> * browseid3 has been deprecated by browsedb. <br> <br> * songinfo.html prefers an item (id), but can still deal with an <br>itempath. <br> <br>SoftSqueeze: <br> <br> * Now at version 1.17 <br> <br> Improved buffering when playing Internet radio stations. <br>(playback starts if bufer is 5% full after 5 seconds) <br> <br> Increased the JavaSound audio buffer size when using the <br>primary sound driver, this may improve playback on some PCs. <br> <br> Improved the JavaSound audio buffering, it should now be <br>much harder to get buffer under runs. <br> <br> Add support for Sun's new Java MP3 Plugin. <br> <br> Upgraded JLayer MP3 library to version 1.0 <br> <br> Added ssh gateway server. (Patch from Avi Schwartz). <br> <br> Added ssh proxy (socks5 and http) support. (Patch from <br>Ben Fried) <br> <br> Use simple encryption to store ssh password, it used to <br>be stored in the clear. <br> <br> Added a playlist mode to the music search (still work in <br>progress). <br> <br> Added an 'Escape' keyboard shortcut to exit fullscreen <br>mode. <br> <br> Fixed java web start desktop shortcut and menus.
