I’m not a SLES expert. I have done some searching, but still can’t find an answer to this. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Trying to install ZendTo on SLES 11 SP4. # rpm -ivh zendto-4.12-5.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: clamd is needed by zendto-4.12-5.noarch mysql-server is needed by zendto-4.12-5.noarch rpmlib(FileDigests) \<= 4.6.0-1 is needed by zendto-4.12-5.noarch clamav and mysql are both installed and running. Any ideas what to look at to figure out why the install doesn’t recognize them? And what is the third item - rpmlib? Thanks Ken ---

I think the ‘rpmlib’ bit is referring to the version of the rpm system, and on SLES 11 SP4 it’s 4.4, not 4.6, so that may be a tricky one. Still, try using skipping that dependency if it’s the only thing left and you should be fine. The others may be a bit more interesting, so perhaps skip them too. The package name for the mysql service on SLES is just ‘mysql’ and if clamd is clam antivirus software, then that’s ‘clamav’, and if not meaning that software, I have no idea what that means. Since the package names do not line up, even though the services are there the rpm system will not find them, so you’ll need to skip those dependencies. ```auto rpm --nodeps -i zendo ``` – Good luck.

I’m stumped. Frustrating because my original install of zendto is way out of date and needs replaced. If Novell Filr had a couple additional features, I could replace ZendTo with Filr. Maybe I just need to use something other than SLES for this. ---

And it appears to be running. I may just go a different route. Thanks.
