I would also recommend installing "checkinstall". It's on the SuSE disk.
This let's you compile from source but converts it to an rpm (more or less)
so that the rpm data base is aware of it (rpm/yast doesn't see source
installed programs).
Basically it's:
./configure (with any needed path/pointers/flags)
make
Then instead of make install you type checkinstall.
This will ask you a few basic questions such as install in default locations,
and other ancillary information. Then it installs the "source" but makes an
RPM of the programs at the same time.
As I stated, this is usefull to keep the rpm database aware of
programs/libs/devel packages. This is further useful in the case when you
try to install a program with certain dependencies. If you install a sourced
package to meet the dependencies it may not be recognized by the other
package that depends on it because it refers to the rpm database, and being a
source package the rpm database is not aware of it.... Hence it tells you
that package X can't be installed because package Y isn't there and X depends
on Y... But you know Y is there because you installed it - RPM is blind to it
however.
Also uninstalling packages in rpm is a simple process of "rpm -e Y". Unlike
uninstalling source packages which means knowing and/or tracking down all
that the package has installed and manually deleting the files... Not often
an easy task.
Cheers, Curtis.
