How to run Giver on openSUSE 10.2, assuming you have a full GNOME and Mono devel stack installed for build and runtime deps:

sudo smart remove avahi libdaemon
Download libdaemon 0.12
Download avahi 0.6.20
Build libdaemon: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
Build Avahi: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfigdir=/etc --disable-qt3 --disable-qt4 && make && sudo make install
Build giver from source

On openSUSE 10.1, I got it running doing the following:

Add http://repos.opensuse.org/Mono/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ as installation source
install mercurial, mono (mono-complete and mono-devel), avahi-mono, etc. using yast
download and install ndesk-dbus RPMs from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/noarch/
build notify-sharp:

hg clone http://hg.circular-chaos.org/notify-sharp
cd notify-sharp/
autoscan
automake --add-missing
autoreconf
./configure --disable-docs
make && sudo make install

build giver:

./configure
make && sudo make install
export MONO_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mono/notify-sharp

And run giver :D

I disabled monodoc because it failed the integrity check when I tried to install it via yast, so you might want to re-enable it. Also, I did not need to reinstall avahi and libdaemon.

Apparently this broke my F-Spot installation on that machine. I don't know what exact part broke it, but it's gotta be one of those RPMs from the OSS-factory repository. Is there another way to install ndesk-dbus on OpenSuse? 10.1?

You will put here some instructions about installing giver on Ubuntu?

Does giver only work on a local network or will it work over a WAN?

Installing on Ubuntu 8.10:

sudo apt-get install giver
