I have 64 bit OpenSuse 11.4 and has boost 1.44. I'm trying to update boost to version 1.46 through 1-Click install of OpenSuse's site.
However I'm getting a lot of errors about it's repositories being invalid. So I tried the manual package by downloading its rpm, however, installing it requires so many dependencies that I need to download as well.
I also tried zypper, here's my repo list:

Isn't there an easier way to update all of boost and its dependencies?
zypper? Also, can you post what errors you are getting, please?zypperdoesn't want to install your updates. Number 3 doesn't look like it belongs. It is part of OpenSUSE 11.4? Take that one out and try again. Tip 1: if you get an error message, trying Googling for it. You can often find useful information. Tip 2: Use @user at the beginning of a comment if you wantuserto be notified of that comment. And yes, zypper is as good as it gets. It is also helpful to postzypper lr -d.
