My memory isn't that good. SLES11 only has zypper 1.3.7, which lacks --provides. I'm trying using SLES12, in the hope that I can learn to point its zypper to a SLES11 repository. The basic test is to find the package that supplies the libtinfo.a on SLES12, which I can do with $ zypper search --provides /usr/lib64/libtinfo.a Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Summary | Type --+---------------+-------------------------------------------------------+-------- i | ncurses-devel | Include Files and Libraries mandatory for Development | package So that works, now I have to find out what repository to use for SLES11sp1. This is all totally new to me; I have never actually installed Linux, at all. -- John Dallman ----------------- Siemens Industry Software Limited is a limited company registered in England and Wales.
