Tree menu in SLES 11 ?

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Configure-Administer
1

Hi,

I can´t find the Steve Baker’s tree utility to use in Terminal ?

Does it not support SLES 11 or there a new better way ?

Hi
If it’s not visible in the default repositories or on the SLE 11 SDK,
then have a look here http://software.opensuse.org/package/tree seems a
few users have it built (Unsupported of course).

I can see it on my SLES 11 SP2 install

[CODE]:~ # zypper info tree
Refreshing service ‘nu_novell_com’.
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…

Information for package tree:

Repository: SLE11-SDK-SP1-Updates

Installed Size: 64.0 KiB
Summary: File listing as a tree

It’s not in the SLE11-SDK-SP2-Core repo but my understanding is that for an SP2 install you’re supposed to have SP1 and SP2 repos set up (as per http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7010225).

That is strange…

I´m also running SUSE 11 with SP2

cat /etc/*-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 2
LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64"

And when I try zypper info tree, there is nothing…

[CODE]zypper info tree
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…

package ‘tree’ not found.
[/CODE]

Hi Tengs,

the tree package is included in the SDK, not the base distribution. May I assume you have not installed the SDK add-on?

Yes, I have not installed the SDK, is the only way go get to install the SDK ?

Or is there another tool get a tree menu in terminal view on SLES 11 ?

Hi Tengs,

according to zypper, there are no further dependencies - so it might work to just fetch the RPM from the SDK DVD and install it.

It’s not supported, nor is it in the official repositories. I have no idea why.

However, you can download the source here: http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/

If you have curl, tar, gcc, and make installed, then you can build it and copy to /bin directory for system use

# if version 1.7.0 is still the latest, otherwise copy newest link from above
curl -O http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/src/tree-1.7.0.tgz
tar -xzvf tree-*
cd tree-*
make
sudo cp tree /bin/
