perhaps if you told us where and what it expected, and where it was in
suse. There is no "canonical" place for things, but say for libraries,
/usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. Ie, your question really makes no sense, as
a generic qustion, and more specifics would help.
]Is there some standard of where things are located in a Linux

]varying from? Would Red Hat or Mandrake or Debian or some other
NO.
