Most of this can be found in the various posts, but I had to dig quite a
bit to find all the bits and pieces, so here is my step-by-step
desciription how
I made this work.

System: openSUSE 11.3 32bit, Squeezeboxserver 7.6 r31469 rpm
installation

1.) Perl modules in slim are not found since directory not in path
Execute
ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor-perl/Slim 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor-perl/5.12.1/Slim

2.) Depending on the modules you have installed, the start script will

complain about missing Perl modules
cpan install <modulname>
will fix this.

3.) Startscript complains about illeagal code in line 65 of 
/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/YAML/Syck.pm
Uncomment lines 65 and 66 in this file

4.) Startscript complains about missing libssp.so for audio module.
Install openSUSE 11.1 version of llvm-gcc from Packman repository
(Sorry, had the URL in here, but the forum SW does not allow me to
post  it)

5.) Edit /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver to set the library path so that 
libssp.so is actually found

start() {
echo -n "Starting Squeezebox Server: "
export HOME=$SQUEEZEBOX_HOME
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-gcc/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
startproc -u $SQUEEZEBOX_USER $SQUEEZEBOX_BIN
$SQUEEZEBOX_ARGS
rc_status -v
}
Note: This is the 32-bit version, change accordingly for 64-bit

The first scan with the new installation seems to fail, just restart
from the
webinterface.

The most annoying problem remaining is, that the server does not save
the 
configuration in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/server.prefs . The
file 
stays empty. My "workaround" was to create the file on an 11.1 system
with 
the right settings can copy it over. Seems to work. This might or might
not be related to the "fix" in item 3...

Note: Just to reiterate, most of this stuff is in the thread, and
thanks a lot for all the advise, this is just a cheat sheet with all
steps in one place.

P.S. If there is a really fixed version, I'll volunteer to test ;-)
