is zypper the “opensuse” way to do it?
Hi
Yes, using zypper will pull in any dependences automatically, you can do it all in one hit as well, for example;
zypper in lame-3.99.5-1015.1.x86_64.rpm libmp3lame0-3.99.5-1015.1.x86_64.rpm
You can also add a local directory as a repo and put all your rpms in there and then install via zypper.
Ok I will try that in the future. Thanks for your help.

And you trust more your own built packages, thus better (first time you
build anything), than the packages built by openSUSE contributors that
have been doing this for decades?
LOL.

Precisely… which is why you should be doing it the repo way, as every
body, till you learn how to build.
For starters, you need to learn to read those error messages and know
what to do without asking.

Use “su”. No dash.

You also must be in the directory where you built it in the first place.
“sudo make install” is fine as well.
But apparently “make” is not installed.
There’s no mention in this thread that he ever ran “make” successfully either, only “configure”…

Well, yes. That’s why I mentioned su without dash

Ah, yes, you are right. I told him to install the development
metapackage. Sorry, I can’t look up the actual name (metered Internet).

Things are easier for people who’re learning if you call things by their name: the Base development pattern, as shown in the list in Yast. No internet needed BTW, a
zypper se patterns
will return a list of available patterns.

Choose “ignore”, or add the “–no-refresh” parameter.
This will only work if the main repo is cached already though.
Btw, this is probably the better command to list all patterns:
zypper se -t pattern
The other one will list all packages that contain the string “patterns”, not just all patterns.

Stop this nit-picking. Provide real help, on a level the OP can understand or refrain from posting.

Yes, I know. But I’m rather more used to YaST, and this one is a pain to
use in this situation. I’m sure that if I hint at a package with an
inexact name, some other person in this forum can take from there and
complete the information. Such was my intention.
The package seems to be (I can’t see what it would install)
“patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis”, quite similar to what I originally
suggested

You can choose “Ignore” there too.
And there’s a “Skip Refresh” button when you start it.
I can’t see what it would install)
Try one of those:
zypper info --requires --recommends patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis
zypper in --dry-run patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis
or click on the pattern in YaST (View->Patterns).
