[ale] Can anyone help me get the Rox Filer to work with E inSUSE 9.1

[Hughes, Michael]

Have not seen any RPM's for it, guess I am looking in the wrong place.

The version of E is 0.16 which is what was on the install cd's.  
I followed the instructions and steps located here
http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/SUSE

SUSE

Download the RPMs from http://packman.links2linux.de/. You need (from
the Other category):

    * shared-mime-info
    * rox-filer

You do not need rox-base, that has been made redundant.

Installation is similar to Red Hat.

I downloaded the above packages and then tried to install them using the
redhat procedures and then it keeps asking me to resolve various
dependencies which I then download the requested items from here
http://packman.links2linux.org/ and install them and it's a never ending
cycle of required dependencies.  

Would an rpm install solve my dependency problem?  I was thinking of
starting over with a clean install and letting it install all the
various features this time around.  

Can you provide a link to the rpm download site?  

Also I have heard you can use YaST to install Rpm's but I have not
figured that out yet either.

Thanks for the help.

It appears that there are rpms available, have you tried them?
