Just installed SLED and got the 60 day trial key and went through the install process and noticed that the development packages I need were not included. Is there a different repository to load after install to get those? Specifically, I’m looking for: [LIST] [_]Ruby on Rails [_]Python 2.7.x [_]Perl 5.x [_]Tcl/Tk [_]Lua [_]etc… [/LIST] Is there a website available that is similar to [opensuse-guide.org](http://opensuse-guide.org)? Thank you 🙂 ---

Hi You need to download the SDK iso image, you can then use YaST add on product to point at the iso image, this will add the iso image as a local repository and then add the online repositories. Or you can log into the Novell Customer center and check the mirror credentials to add manually. You don’t say which version of SLED… so downloads are here.

There’s not an SDK repository? And, do I need both SDK DVDs? I have the 11.3 SLED. Thank you for the quick answer. ---

Okay, downloaded it and now I’m going to try and install a couple packages; is it possible to update from python 2.6 to 2.7.x? Some of these packages are 2-3 years old and cause dependency issues when trying to install certain software, (i.e., trying to install Red Note Book). ---

Else ask the GNOME:Apps maintainers if they can enable the SLE\_11\_SP3 repo and add the build requirements…
