Problem with Georepo

English Applications
1

Hi All,
I am an opensuse (11.1) newbie. I want to download GRASS GIS through Georepo. I think I correctly set the repository in the software management, as I can visualize its packages in the repository from Yast. However, when I click “install” I receive the following message.

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file PackagesUI.ycp:240
/sbin/yast2: line 440: 5357 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “$SELECTED_GUI” $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

Do you have any clue? The URL of the repository is
URL: Index of /repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_11.1

Thank you very much.

Hi
Thank you, I now can visualize GRASS and I installed it successfully. However, wen I look for it among my applications, I cannot find it. I can’t find it even doing a search. I repeated the pòrcess two times (uninstalling and re-installing it) but still cannot visualize… :’(
Cheers

open a terminal and type: grass
hit return

Hopefully that will start it
We can manually add an entry to the menu if necessary, but first see if that starts it

Hi,
I’m back again… unfortunately I have the same problem with PSPP, a statistical software. Correctly installed, can’t see it among the applications, but this time it does not work typing PSPP in the terminal. Any other, magic, hint?
Thank you

I have never used this app
So I’m not sure. Look in Yast at the app and look at the file list tab
See what the executable file is called
Eg; pspp.bin
If that was the case, then pspp should start it, unless it requires some special privileges - which seems unlikely.

it’s always possible you will need a reboot, but again this is unlikely
