I compiled and installed an application from source code on Debian at

from Debian so I can use it on SUSE directly?Thanks in advance.

Try alien to convert .deb to .rpm. If Debian and SuSE use different
versions of shared libraries, you may have to compile anyway, or install
the SuSE packaged version of that application if it exists.

Thanks for you reply.
I built the application by myself,you know,the way "./
configure,make,make install".
I wonder whether there is a tool that resolves the shared libraries of
the application with ldd and packages all the dependencies with the
main program, so I can just copy the result to a new linux machine to
use it.
