Checkinstall provides an easy way to make an RPM from sources, which is nice if you want to use standard RPM utilities to install/upgrade/remove/query, and also to make your RPM database aware of the new libs you've installed.

It does Debian and Slackware packages too.

PackMan has both nicely packaged as RPM for various versions of SuSE: Sword: http://packman.links2linux.org/index.php4?action=623&vn=1 BibleTime: http://packman.links2linux.org/index.php4?action=624&vn=1 Just left-click on the RPM and "Install package with YaST" and "Accept".

I have apt installed, and packman configured in the sources.list, so it was easiest to just say "apt-get install bibletime", and we're all done.

Thanks for the info, it's always good to have more options...
