[Qgis-user] Re: QGIS 1.7.4 doesn't run in OpenSUSE 12.1

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

Angelos is right. Building QGIS for Application:Geo is based on packages from
the default repositories (python, ...) and from Application:Geo (geos,
gdal, ...). If you use other repositories for kde, qt, python etc. qgis will
likely fail.

I hope this explains your problems.

Tumbleweed in my opinion should only be used, if you are an experienced
opensuse user. 

Kind regards
Otto
