dependencies under installation

[seles]

hiz.... When i try to install a program sometimes i face dependencies error. Is there any way for SuSE to auto-install the missing deps because manual installation is very annoying???

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend downloading SMART. I like using that far better then YaST for package management. As for the auto install versus manual, I'm not much use to you there. Sorry.

Smart is the best method for installing packages. Failing that you can add sources to Yast. Yast>Installation Sources>Add. Here is something to look at:

My opinion for what it's worth.

Smart or other 3rd party package managers are much better than Zen but your best bet is to simply add repos to YaST. Make sure they're set to "refresh" so your packages and the dependancies are kept up to date. Then you'll be able to install all your packages and have the dependancies installed through YaST.

Here's a link.

Note: uninstall Zen before you start. It's a PITA waiting for Yast and Zen to syncronize.
