    Lightbulb X.org ----If Anyone can help

    I am fed up of failing installations of Tarballs on my Linux PC and what could be worst was that I use Windows to download files and reboot in SuSE to find that all was up to no avail.

    The problems on my pc:

    1. xorg-devel or similar package not available in YaST.
    2. If I download a package in Windows and reboot then install it, it requires another package and that one requires another. and so on.
    2. Can't configure Agere Modem (Drivers are in BunZip Archives).
    3. Can't download Repositions (for xorg devels) - No internet connection

    Still I can see a way. Is it possible that I download a Repository in windows and use the Online Update method to install it in Linux? If possible, please tell me the whole method.

    STILL


    THE ERROR PERSISTS: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation directory.


    Please help me resolve this.............................................. ...............

    Why is it that you need the xorg-devels? Let's try fixing your internet connection, you can move on from there. First switch to root.
    Code:
    su
    lspci
    The lspci command will list your PCI devices. By getting the manufacturer model/name you can post it here and also use that specific name to search for drivers for it. If you already have the drivers...I'm not sure then, however I believe if you have the SUSE DVD you can use that to install xorg-devel and other packages, because it also acts as a repository. However it will not have everything the internet repositories have.

    You do not configure bunzips, you just extract it. If it is a tar.bz2 file you can run
    Code:
    tar xvf file.tar.bz2
    If it is just .bz2 (unlikely for what you are dealing with) then
    Code:
    bunzip file.bz2
    You can then change to that directory and configure from there if needs be, but I would recommend reading the help/README file.
