Ok so I recently installed Opensuse just for funsies on my work computer and there is only Krita 2.5.4 available in their repo's. Now I kinda wanna have 2.6 or newer and since I've never used an RPM system before I tried to use their one-click-install feature but the problem is that it keeps telling me that there are allot of dependancies that dont exist Libpng.16-something amongst other things. Now I assumed that I could install that lib-package via the same one-click-install but it existed only as source which seems trickier than it would have to be.

So you Opensuse boys and girls, how do you do it when you install Krita? Is there some magical part I'm missing or should I stay content with 2.5.4?

http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories ... tions_only provides Krita 2.6.3 and will have 2.7.0 when that gets released.

I use opensuse myself, but them, of course, I build krita myself . In fact, I'm doing little else than compiling krita!

Cheers Boudewijn! That worked perfectly after two steps of clicking in "install something else". Its just a tad bit odd to me since I'm used to apt and this is my first little skip into RPM and Opensuse (and the first thing I install is Krita, then Spotify and then Steam)

I wanted to test it since so many of you crazy KDE(and affiliated)-kids seemed to like it and I'm in this weird binge of "I wanna learn how to theme KDE"

Compile away! I'm gonna continue drawing on the cool things you have done now.
