You need to install the Sword package first. It's on the BibleTime download page. Make sure you download the packages for SuSE 9.2. If it doesn't work please include detailed error messages from the programs. What does it give if you do the following: press ALT+F2 and enter "konsole" enter "su -" go to the dir which contains the files, e.g. "cd /home/gub/Downloads/" enter "rpm -i sword-1.5.7a-1.suse9.2.i586.rpm" enter "rpm -i bibletime-1.4.1-1.suse9.2.i586.rpm" What does it tell you? Please note that you only need to do these difficult steps if the installation with the graphical tools doesn't work. Let us know, Joachim |

Thank you for your reply- I didn't know that I needed to install the sword rpm first But I did and have the same problem when it comes to the bibletime rpm I tried installing both via YaST the sword package worked fine but there was no difference in the experience with the bibletime package After that I tried via the terminal as you suggested and I was informed that I had already installed the sword package, of course, but nothing happen when I tried to rpm -U the bibletime package what do i try next? |
