I do use the -N NFS option with ncpfs. This works better for OpenOffice.
]]>I better don’t comment on the product itself but I can tell you
tricks how I would probably install it if I was forced to use it.
The libbfd requirement can be satisfied by binutils from the
official openSUSE 11.1 repo. So use that one instead of some random
internet search result. libbfd is required by a library that has
RPATH set to /opt/novell/xtier/lib (lib64 on x86_64). So you can
copy the library there. That still bypasses package management but
doesn’t affect other parts of the system. To even fix that you could
use mkbaselibs from the build package to repackage just the needed
library:
$ cat > baselibs.conf <<EOF
arch x86_64 targets x86_64
arch i586 targets i586
binutils
targetname libbfd-2_19
+/usr/lib(64)?/libbfd-2.19.so
EOF
$ /usr/lib/build/mkbaselibs -c baselibs.conf binutils-2.19-9.3.*.rpm
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/*/libbfd-2_19-2.19-9.3.*.rpm
In case of ncl there's also an even easier way to install the
product itself:
# zypper ar iso:/?iso=/space/novell-client-2.0-sp2-sle11-i586.iso ncl
# zypper in -t pattern novell-ncl
