Christian, Thanks for your help. I think I "got" it :))
-) I was able to install some of the missing RPMs via zypper: # zypper install openssl-devel curl-devl sgml-skel ... -) I got the git tar file from http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.0.2.tar.gz -) I built from source but got an error on asciidoc - one of the missing RPMs. Hopefully that is just needed for documentation: # ./configure --prefix=/usr # make all doc ... asciidoc -b xhtml11 -d manpage -f asciidoc.conf \ -agit_version=1.6.0.2 -o git-add.html+ git-add.txt make[1]: asciidoc: Command not found make[1]: *** [git-add.html] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/git-1.6.0.2/Documentation' make: *** [doc] Error 2 -) I was able to build just the commands: # make install ... # which git /usr/bin/git -) Then using git failed, but at least it ran. # git clone http://git.gitorious.org/open-ovf/mainline.git Initialized empty Git repository in /usr/local/src/mainline/.git/ fatal: http://git.gitorious.org/open-ovf/mainline.git/info/refs download error - transfer closed with 30 bytes remaining to read It probably failed because of the IBM firewall not allowing access to the Internet. I'll rebuild on a virtaul machine that allows access to the Internet. Alan, > You need to dig out the listed packages and install them first > (and their dependancies).
