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:

When I do zypper update, here's what I'm getting:

Nothing to do.
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.
