That does not help here since nothing with that name or even a similar 
one exists to link against (I naively tried of course before I looked 
deeper). Seems i have to find out if there is some build problem here 
with the rpm's coming from the prerelease repository which leads to 
something which is missing. (openSUSE 12.2 is not yet released, I am 
testing release candidates at the moment).
I was not really sure what a dylib translates to in the Linux world, 
I'ld guess I should have an equivalent .so file here if I interpret that 
right?
I think I will simply build the whole suitesparse stack locally here at 
the weekend to see if that is a simple packaging error or something more 
fundamental.
Just wanted to know if someone with a Linux distro which ships 
suitesparse version 4 ran already across it and found an easy solution 
or workaround.
