Hi Richard,
 
from reading your mail, it might be enought that you install something
like atk-devel. Then configure might run fine (just a guess, more
information below). 

In make, it fails with "assert undefined". This is a g++ 3.3 problem,
you always have to have "#include <cassert>" in a file that uses
assert(). This is fixed in the current svn tree.  I attached a patch
that fixes those issues (taken from the current development tree). 

If you want to check out 0.37, I can make you a tgz available or you
may just check out the svn tree. The current state is that is pretty
stable and I want to release it once it gets a bit more testing. It
has some nice new stuff in it :)

More information about the details of the configure problem below:

Suse seems to use different names for the packages. You can check this
with "pkg-config --list-all". This gives you a complette list of all
installed pkg-config modules. 

You may also have a look into: /usr/lib/pkgconfig
All modules for pkg-config have there config file there (at least in
debian).

It might be needed that you install atk-devel as well.

Importend is how they are named for pkg-config. The "--list-all"
switch will give you hints. Once this is sorted out, please let me
know about the names that suse uses. 

You can change it yourself by chaning "configure.in". Search for 
--------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------
dnl Checks for gtk
pkg_modules="gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0, libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0, pango >= 1.0.0, glib-2.0"
--------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------

and replace gtk+-2.0 with the suse name for pkg-config (e.g. libgtk2).
Then run "cd /path/to/src/of/synaptic ; ./autogen.sh"

Sure, but leaving it out also leaves out importend search pathes and
libs to be linked. So it fails very badly (like below).

I already did, thanks for reporting.

Right.

I hope this information helps you to solve this problem. Please let me
(and the list) know if it works.
