Suse 11.1 and ZoneMinder

This is an update from the Suse 10.1 Install for ZoneMinder. Read that section first. You can find it here: [1] This is a work in progress and is incomplete. Use at your own risk.

Install Packages

Install these packages from either Yast2 Software Management or from the Suse online software search at http://software.opensuse.org/search: Some of these files are dependencies, and will be added automatically from other packages. There was no simple way to get the main files needed, so here is the list and the search term used for you to find them easily. You need to add the packman.unixheads.com repository for suse/11.1 to your yast2 repositories. You also need to install the build tools gcc and the libs for mpeg and jpeg from 10.1 wiki page.
