Need help installing -devel packages

Maybe I’m missing something. I’m extremely new to OpenSuse but am versed with Fedora/RH/CentOS.
I have a standard DVD install of 11.1. At the CLI (I’m using SSH, so the GUI does not help me) I tried:


yast -i mysql-devel

and I also tried


yast2 -i mysql-devel

but they do not get installed. I tried to remove the DVD as a repo and add Packman, but still no luck.
I searched in YaST and did not see any mysql-devel packages either.
Can someone tell me what I may be doing wrong or how to get the package?
Thanks!

Hi
I think you will find it’s a name change and you need to use
libmysqlclient-devel instead. Also you might want to check out the
zypper command for searching, install etc :slight_smile:
