I was able to resolve the Installation issue once i installed a new kernel after recompiling the kernel with TIPC enabled.

Hello,

I am trying a first time installation on a Suse 10.3 Linux platform.

I have openSUSE 10.3 (i586) Linux and 2.6.22.17 Kernel

uname -a
Linux reddog 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Problem seems to be that a kernel with TIPC support is not available, I looked at the TIPC website to see if i can get the TIPC source and recompile the kernel but looks like there is no updates for 2.6.22 kernel. My compilation with 2.6.22 kernel fails with errors.

Has anyone encountered similar issue and if so is there a solution.

I have run the preinstall-suse.sh script and that installs all the required packages correctly. After this when i run the instal.sh script it fails with following output
