Hi, Thanks for the replies. I do understand that it takes time to support a distribution and that not-stable distributions won't be officially supported at all. I'm on my own there, I can live with that... What I don't understand is the following: While freedom of choice being advocated up and down the road in the Linux community, I am forced to use Ximian's propriatry tool to simply download some software. Why not put it up on a web site or an ftp server. That's just plainly beyond me, I'm afraid... Anyway, I finally got it to work and I'm pretty pleased now. :) Here's what I did. 1) Found somebody with Suse 8.0, have him install red-carpet and start the installation of connector. 2) Kill red-carpet during package verification and grab the downloaded rpms from the cache. 3) Alienised the rpm into a deb and installed the package. 4) Added a bunch of softlinks, to have the files appear in the /usr/share-hierarchy (they get installed in /opt) 5) Fixed lost dependencies, i.e. installed soup. Simply check the ouput of the connector-binary. It'll gladly tell you which libs are missing. 6) libical resides in /usr/lib/libical. So either add that to ld.so.conf or symlink the lib into /usr/lib. Works like a charm on my Sid-Box. :) Cheers, Markus -- Markus Irle Software Competence Center Hagenberg GmbH Softwarepark Hagenberg, Hauptstrasse 99 A-4232 Hagenberg, Austria Tel.: +43 7236 3343 856 Fax: +43 7236 3343 888 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -- Ernst Jan Plugge
