Re: gnome-pilot doesn't work on openSUSE 11 (jpilot, pilot-link both work)

Sorry, I didn"t receive responses from the mailinglist, so I can't reply in the initial thread.

Thanks to Matt, by suspending hald, the sync works !

I've tried to compile gnome-pilot 2.0.16 after applied the patch, but there are so many gaps in package requirement vs openSUSE 11's latest package versions, the ./configure can't pass through:

...
checking for HAL... configure: WARNING: HAL/DBUS Library requirements (dbus-glib-1>= 0.31, hal>= 0.5.4)
not met; disabling HAL support.
checking for GNOME_PILOT... configure: error: Package requirements (
	libxml-2.0
	libgnome-2.0>= 2.0.0
	libgnomeui-2.0>= 2.0.0
	libglade-2.0>= 2.0.0
	libbonobo-2.0>= 2.0.0
	ORBit-2.0>= 2.0.0
	bonobo-activation-2.0>= 1.0.3
	gnome-vfs-2.0>= 2.0.0
	gconf-2.0
) were not met:

No package 'libxml-2.0' found
No package 'libgnome-2.0' found
No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found
No package 'libglade-2.0' found
No package 'libbonobo-2.0' found
No package 'ORBit-2.0' found
No package 'bonobo-activation-2.0' found
No package 'gnome-vfs-2.0' found
No package 'gconf-2.0' found

On my system, I've the following:
libxml-1.8.17-489.1
libgnome-2.22.0-30.2
libgnomeui-2.22.1-22.1
libglade2-2.6.2-93.1
libbonobo-2.22.0-21.1
orbit2-2.14.12-32.1
gconf2-2.22.0-28.1
dbus-1-glib-0.74-88.1
hal-0.5.11-8.1

libxml-1.8.17-489.1 is the latest version available for openSUSE 11.
dbus-1-glib is there but not detected as gnome-pilot requires dbus-glib-1, so there is a difference in the name.
Same thing for gconf2 vs gconf.

How to get ride of this ?

Thanks
