Does the SuSE 8.2 RPM not work on 8.1?
No, not in _most_ cases, and this is one.
Interesting. I guess it's a different philosophy of when to break binary compatibility. I've been using Red Hat for years, and they generally only jump major library versions with the x.0 releases. The Dillo package built on RH 7.3, for instance, will also run on RH 7.2 and RH 7.1. (At least the 0.7.2 one does - I'll have to verify the new one.) I've generally figured on just aiming for the most recent point release - Red Hat 6.2, 7.3, etc., Mandrake 8.2, 9.1, and so on. Does the .src.rpm work? (Running "rpm --rebuild dillo-0.7.3-1.src.rpm" should build a valid i386 or i586 RPM.) If so, the easiest thing would be to just email me a copy of the resulting RPM (assuming it's 200-300 KB) and I'll post it. In the long run, I guess I'll have to install a SuSE 8.1 partition. Out of curiosity, what errors does it report when you try to run the 8.2 RPM on 8.1? Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org
