iFolder and Novell client on openSUSE 11.0
You can get both applications to work but it requires some manual work (On my laptop I did an upgrade from 10.3 to 11.0)
It’s very important that you install the right version of log4net. iFolder and simias requires version 1.2.9 while openSUSE 11.0 ships with 1.2.10 in order to fix this you need to remove the log4net package and (re)install a 1.2.9 rpm (which is available on software.opensuse.org)
The /etc/init.d/novfsd script tries to compile the novfs module, this will fail due to a lot of changes in the kernel. This compilation is not necessary as you can use the novfs module which is in the kernel package.
> rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-default/kernel/fs/novfs/novfs.ko
kernel-default-2.6.25.5-1.1
To disable the attempt to compile to module every time the script is started just comment the following 2 lines in the /etc/init.d/novfs script
#cd /opt/novell/ncl/src/novfs
#./mk_novfs

You may have to relink the libbfd. On my install, I had to:
ln -s libbfd-2.18.50.20080409-11.1.so libbfd-2.17.50.0.5.so
to finally get it to work.

You are right, I forgot to add that one
