After spending some time on this during the weekend, I'm now able to
stream to my Duet receiver in OpenSUSE 11.3.  Turns out that my last
hurdle was that my firewall settings had all ports blocked (I know... I
can't believe I didn't check that first thing either).  Here's a
rundown, from memory, of the steps I went through to get this running
on 11.3 for anyone who's interested:

1) Download and install the nightly build of squeezebox server (either
7.5.2 or 7.6 should work, but I used 7.5.2):
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.5
The nightly is needed since it supports Perl 5.12 which OpenSUSE 11.3
ships with.

2) Squeezebox server seems to look for some Perl modules in the wrong
location so make a link to the correct directory:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.1/

3) Download and install the llvm-gcc-2.5.0 package from the PackMan
repository: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/llvm-gcc
Get the 11.1 package for whichever architecture you're on.  This is
needed since it includes the libssp.so library that squeezebox server
requires.

4) Startup squeezebox server as root with:
sudo -u squeezeboxserver env
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/llvm-gcc/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver &
Note: The portion after 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' would be different if you're
not on a x86_64 platform.
This command just kicks off the service as the squeezeboxserver user
and puts the newly installed libssp.so file on the library path.

5) Go into YaST's firewall tool and make sure you don't have all of
your ports blocked :)

Hopefully this helps anyone who's been having problems with squeezebox
server and OpenSUSE 11.3.  It sounds like there's some work going into
getting rid of the dependency on libssp.so which should make this all a
bit simpler in the future.
