compat-2008.10.27-1.12.i586.rpm

libpng3-1.2.31-4.23.i586.rpm

compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-121.1.i586.rpm  - This file is from the 11.0 download because a comparable file is not available in the 11.1 download. 

OpenSuSE 11.1 64 bit

compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-121.1.x86_64.rpm - This file is from the 11.0 download because a comparable file is not available in the 11.1 download.

***Additional Notes***

1. Do not uninstall any existing libraries.

2. After installation when we open the pallete in the error log we do get the info message could not load library: liblocalfile_1_0_0.so.  This library provides platform-specific optimizations for certain file system operations.  This library is not present on all platforms, so this may not be an error.  The resources plug-in will safely fall back to using java.io.File functionality.

3. On OpenSuSE 11.1 64 bit, do not install the libpng package on this OS

4. You may need to force the package to install.  Do this by using the --force in your rpm command. 

ie "rpm --force -ivh <library_name>
