Suse 10.3 64bit

[ciobi]

Will there be a Suse 10.3 64bit version available?

I managed to get the RPM for 10.2 to work (after running as root "rpm
--nodeps -i zero-1.9-suse10.2-091407.x86_64.rpm", manually installing
gtksourceview18 and gtkhtml2 from YaST and creating the symbolic link /
usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-3.8.so.15 to libgtkhtml-3.14.so.19.1.0).

I didn't spend too much time playing with Zero, but it seems to work
pretty well, except (unless I'm missing something) that the only way
to remove breakpoints it to delete the file ~/.zero/config (which is a
binary file, so it can't be (easily) edited). The menu options and
right-clicking for disabling or removing breakpoints work, but only in
the current session. Once you restart the program, all the breakpoints
show up again, no matter that they were just disabled/deleted. So once
you set a breakpoint it's going to stay there and be active every time
you start to debug.

I wonder if this has anything to do with my hacking to run the 10.2
RPM on 10.3, or it's a known issue, with some known workaround. For
now I'll probably think of something to make this issue less painful
and continue to use Zero, as the advantages it has over gdb are
significant from my point of view.

Thanks,
Ciobi

-------------------------

(Note to other people that haven't figured out how to run Zero on Suse
10.3 64 bit and might want to replicate my steps: you might need to
install other packages, from YaST, Smart or whatever you're using for
package management. To find out what packages you need, run "rpm -i
zero-1.9-suse10.2-091407.x86_64.rpm", check the error messages, find
the providers of what's missing and install those packages. It's worth
it.)

As soon as I find the time to install  the 64 OS, yes (hopefully in a week or so)

That is a known bug and the fix will be included in the build for 10.3.

For now, if you do not want to delete the entire .zero/config, go to Tools --> History and delete just the entry for that program (so that you do not get nagged by the EULA window every time you start the program).
