Unable to install client on SLED 10

Question

Hi Guys,
What am I doing wrong. I followed the documentation instructions. Unpacked
the tarball and then selected a Yast Add-on product, local file install.
Browse for the catalog file location, but despite trying most of the
unpacked directories it can't find the catalog. What is the catalog file
called? Then perhaps I can point the install to it. Tried to run the
ncl_install script, no that didn't work. Just one line in the documentation
as to where the catalog can be found would really help.
Cheers
Gordon

What client did you download? The 1.2 client for SLED? Also, did you verify
the md5sums from the download? I would also suggest that you have on the
kernel-source and gcc packages. The make package should already be there.
SLED 10 comes with a client kernel module, but it is older than the one
that ships with the client, so if you put on the kernel-source and gcc it
will compile a new one.
Also, just install it through a terminal. Open a terminal and su to root.
Run the following command just to clean things up:
../ncl_install uninstall
Then install it with the following command after you have verified and
install the information that I gave you in the first paragraph:
../ncl_install
Once that is done, please cut and past the output from the install into this
forum for more troubleshooting.
