At this point I feel like I'm chasing my tail.

I upgraded git and then started trying to upgrade other software that svn2git requires.  It's been all downhill!

I found rpm 5.2.1 and tried installing it but needed popt.  I found popt and installed it but now need beecrpypt because Python.h is missing.  It looks like I need beecrypt but I *can't* find an appropriate beecrypt for Suse 11.

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -m64 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I. -I../include -I/usr/include/python2.6 -I/re/thirdparty_tools/java/linux/jdk1.6.0_02/jre/../include -I/re/thirdparty_tools/java/linux/jdk1.6.0_02/jre/../include/linux -DOPTIMIZE_X86_64 -O2 -DNDEBUG -Wa,--noexecstack -c -o _bc-py.lo _bc-py.c libtool: compile: gcc -m64 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I. -I../include -I/usr/include/python2.6 -I/re/thirdparty_tools/java/linux/jdk1.6.0_02/jre/../include -I/re/thirdparty_tools/java/linux/jdk1.6.0_02/jre/../include/linux -DOPTIMIZE_X86_64 -O2 -DNDEBUG -Wa,--noexecstack -c _bc-py.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/_bc-py.o _bc-py.c:8:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory In file included from _bc-py.c:14: ../include/beecrypt/python/mpw-py.h:12: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before âPyObject_HEADâ ../include/beecrypt/python/mpw-py.h:20: error: expected â=â, â,â, â;â, âasmâ or â__attribute__â before âmpw_Typeâ

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks again for any insights.

Nolan

Thanks for your quick response.

svn2git has alot of pre-requisite software.  Can I just upgrade git and leave the other software at its current version?

You should just upgrade Git instead, using an old version of a conversion tool is generally a Bad Idea.
