It took 3 hours and many missing dependencies but I did it!

with XSLT or without?

Without. Tried with, ended up getting confused about a reciprocal broken dependency with glibc, so just removed a ton of options and coerced it into doing the rest. Even using nice and "easy" rpms I still had to install about 25 packages, which seemed bizarre; must've been compiled with minimal options previously. Not entirely sure I bothered but masochism is part of the whole linux experience.

Thats what is holding up my linux build at the moment. Sablotron isn't playing fair

I'll try and recompile it another time but given that I don't need xslt at the moment, and given the gravity of the security holes fixed in .10, figured it was better to get it on there than off.

What flavour are you using? It'd be nice and easy when you've got the distro discs handy - having to look up every RPM with search tools to download it via ssh was a right pain!

I'm using SuSE. The problem is, I used 7.1 at work, and 9.1 personal at home. The personal edition has no useful RPMs whatsoever for servers, so I'm having to compile/scour for RPMs for everything myself. Works was easy enough to update (to 4.3.9 this is

, they didn't want .10 as the client still uses .9) once I pulled all the RPMs from the CDs, but argghhh to doing it at home.

My problem is now it won't even install Expat or Sablotron by RPM or compilation, so I'm not exactly sure what on earth is going on.

Edit: I've switched back to my Windows machine for a bit now so I can get this website stuff done anyway.

This is why I love Debian. I say apt-get install "package name" and it just does it!
