Hello again,
the Linux distribution SuSE 9.1 is not only for the
graphics cards a little bit tricky.
There happened some significant changes from release
9.0 to 9.1.
Here my experience.
xftp and nedit are gone away. Of course the programs are
a little bit older, neverthelesse they are useful.
If you need these programs, take the rpms from
ftp://ftp.leo.org/.mntpts/3/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse/i386/9.0/suse/i586/
The names are
nedit-5.3-235.i586.rpm and
xftp-2.1.0-799.i586.rpm
Furthermore python21 (for sparky) is no longer part of
the distribution. The rpms are available from the same
source
python21-2.1.3-268.i586.rpm
python21-mysql-0.9.2-51.i586.rpm
The prerequisite to install these rpms is the
packet "db41" which still is part of SuSE 9.1.
If you finally need lapack (linear algebra package),
you can once again lock into the above mentioned
ftp site. The prerequisite to install lapack is
the packet "blas".
The most interesting problem is the start of the
FlexLM license manager for XWIN-NMR (lmgrd). This
terminates with an error message. You can avoid
this, if you define the environment variable
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL before you start lmgrd.
An example using csh would be
setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.6.3
sh /etc/init.d/bruker_lmgr start
Hope this helps
Rainer
