It would be nice to have the Chrome browser like the rest of the world on SLED 11 SP2 ---

I think there might have been a thread on the subject of Google Chrome no longer working on SLED, but if there was then it seems to be gone now along with the all the other posts that for whatever reason were not preserved when the SLED forum was moved from [forums.novell.com](http://forums.novell.com) to [forums.suse.com](http://forums.suse.com). (Everything prior to August 2011 seems to have been lost in the move. No idea why.) Anyway, as of version 13 Google Chrome started to require newer versions of various libraries than were in SLED. This hasn’t changed in SLED 11 SP2. If you really, really, want Google Chrome on SLED then I think your best bet figure out which libraries it requires newer versions of, build them source in to their own location and run Google Chrome in a wrapper which sets LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH to include them. Way back in 2008 I got Firefox 3 working on SLED 10 by doing that. ---
