Hi.

I tried to install libsaml8 via package manager as you can see in the screen shot.

![](http://i58.tinypic.com/2heg9jc.png)

It needs the dependencies libxerces-c but I could not found this [library](https://download.suse.com/index.jsp?product_id=&search=Search&bu=suse&families=&date_range=&date_start=29+Oct+2014&date_end=29+Oct+2014&keywords=xerces&sort_by=&results_per_page=).

Where can I find the libxerces-c.so.28 (64bit)?

Hi  
What release of SLE is this?

It’s not a third party repository is it?

Hi  
It’s a third party repository, see the Vendor entry.

Can you post the output from;

```auto
zypper lr -d
```

Hi  
They have built the package against an older library, the versions available on OBS is 3.1.x for SLE  
[https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel%3Alibraries%3Ac\_c%2B%2B&package=xerces-c](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel%3Alibraries%3Ac_c%2B%2B&package=xerces-c)

As indicated on the OBS page, you need to follow up on their website;  
[https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/security:shibboleth](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/security:shibboleth)

Else you could branch the package on OBS and build against the c++ repository version.

I dont get it what to do, I tired to install the package from your first [link](http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=devel%3Alibraries%3Ac_c%2B%2B&package=xerces-c). I add the repo and installed the package via YaST. After I execute the command [QUOTE]zypper in shibboleth

Problem: nothing provides libxerces-c.so.28()(64bit) needed by shibboleth-2.5.3-1.1.x86\_64  
Solution 1: do not install shibboleth-2.5.3-1.1.x86\_64

As you mentioned I followed up their website but I could not find other version.

Hi  
Yes that’s the issue, the package your trying to install appears to be  
built against an older library. What they should do in their repository  
is ‘linkpac’ to the one in the c++ development library and let them  
build… unfortunately until that happens not a lot you can do.

If you know your way around the Open Build Service you could branch  
their project and try building yourself plus add the missing library.
