Does anyone know which repo might have this? packman and the stock suse repos don’t have the -devel (so I can get ppm.h and libppm.a) option. If I try to get it from pbone, I’m afraid of breaking something in the stock opensuse 12.1 x64 netpbm install (or dependencies) - it seems integrated into the overall system. THANKS!!
libnetpbm-devel is in the standard repos, since I do not have it
installed I cannot tell you what it contains.

Like Martin, I have it in the OSS repo. But I am using 11.4 and you keep us uninformed about what you have >:(

For fun I looked into it (just to explicitly mention for 12.1 as my
footer indicates) and it contains ppm.h and libppm.so (not the static .a
one), why do you need the static library and also the question which
openSUSE are you using?
It is more than strange if you do not have that package in your repo
since Henk has it for 11.4 and I have it in 12.1 which are the only
supported versions (except the more exotic Tumbleweed and Evergreen)!?

You’re absolutely right, Martin - it’s right there. But I didn’t think to search for libnetpbm-devel - I only searched for netpbm-devel - and when I searched for ppm.h (while “file list” was checked) I’m sure it didn’t turn up anything. But now that I installed libnetpbm-devel, the search works. I wonder if there was a repo problem earlier today?
Thank You!!!
BTW: openSuSE 12.1 x64 with only the standard repos and all of Packman.
I am wondering how you searched.
Just for kicks, I typed “netpbm-devel” in the search box of Yast Sofware management. And it found “libnetpbm-devel”
I don’t think searching for file names works unless the package is already installed.

That’s correct, our package system does not have the metadata which file
is in which rpm unless it is installed, sometimes an unpleasant feature.

Keep in mind that you only need supply enough of the name to search. You
could have used just netpbm and still found the package you were looking
for.

If you know the package. That was a comment on a completely different
question: You know a file you need and have no clue which package it is
in, not really the situation of this thread.
If if you read the previous posts you see that the original problem has
long been solved.
