Hi,
I try to install my hp network printer on suse 10.1. Actually hp-setup exepect a usb type connection, which certainly depends on the warning message of the depency check while installing the hplib 3.92:
warning: An optional dependecy ‘libnetsnmp-devel (libnetsnmp-devel - SNMP networking liebrary development files)’ is still missing.
warning ‘network has been turned off’
So I expect the network is turned off for installation and the usb type connection is select by hp-setup due to the absence of the network connection. My first try was to install libnetsnmp-devel with yast, but yast can not find this library. To work around I downloaded net-snmp-devel-5.3.0.1-25.5.x86_64.rpm, but I can not manage to get this packege installed wiht yast.
I expect that the installation of libnetsnmp-devel could solve this problem, but I don’t understand why this package can not be installed.

You could try to install directly with the rpm command as follows. Open a
terminal Window and enter:
su
rpm -Uvh /<path to rpm>/net-snmp-devel-5.3.0.1-25.5.x86_64.rpm
Here <path to rpm> is the path to the directory to which you downloaded the
file. If the reason it does not install is a dependency problem, that will
need to be resolved and the above will fail.

Thanks for the answers, which are good. rpm -Uvh told me that are still depencies missing and this might had been the problem for yast to tell nothing.
But how install the latest version of suse without distroying the directory my system. I have installed my linux on two disk: user data on disk B, and linux on disk A. Does it work to download the installation to B and to install directly on A. Or should I use a second op system to do this new installation. Or is an automatic updata possible without distroying the system (what didn’t managed last time).
Disk A and Disk B does not help at all, provide information how you partitioned those disks, especially the disk with your linux installation.
Backing up your private data and make a clean install (no update) will bei the only safe way, as you cannot “jump” from 10.1 to 11.0 or 11.1, the only supported way is to upgrade to the next version, which would be 10.2 and is also out of support for several months.
