Currently Amazon Germany offers its downloader for openSUSE 11.0 with bindings to boost 1.36, but only boost 1.39 is available in the repositories. As a result you get dependency errors.

However, this works:

1. Install without dependency checks:

   sudo rpm -i --nodeps PACKAGE.rpm

2. Create symlinks:

   cd /usr/lib
   sudo ln -s libboost_filesystem.so libboost_filesystem.so.1.36.0
   sudo ln -s libboost_regex.so libboost_regex.so.1.36.0
   sudo ln -s libboost_date_time.so libboost_date_time.so.1.36.0
   sudo ln -s ibboost_signals.so ibboost_signals.so.1.36.0
   sudo ln -s libboost_iostreams.so libboost_iostreams.so.1.36.0
   sudo ln -s libboost_thread.so libboost_thread.so.1.36.0
   sudo ln -s libboost_system.so libboost_system.so.1.36.0

[I don't like sudo that much, but it's convenient to include it in those scripts to ensure that the access is granted.. ]

Update: A more detailed how-to can be found in the openSUSE wiki (thanks to Flo)

Yeah, yet another ugly default-themed freshy-themed Wordpress blog
