I have no experience with SuSE, but libBLT24 probably is included in the 
blt package you have.

To see a list of libraries supplied with blt, try:
]$ rpm -q --provides blt

Information about packages and alternate distributions can be found at the 
rpmfind site. Here is a link to info on the blt RPM.

The sip v. 3.8 package probably includes libsip.so.

When you need to install a group of RPMs and can't or don't want to figure out 
which order to install them in, just try to install several at the same time. 
'rpm' will then install them in the correct order, provided there is no 
missing dependency.
]# rpm -ivh package1 package2 package3 (etc.)

It looks like you have the dependencies already satisfied for python-devel, 
python-tk, and sip. Try installing them again.

libqscintilla probably will be part of an RPM with a name something like 
"qscintilla". qscintilla doesn't seem to be included in many distributions. 
If SuSE doesn't provide a qscintilla RPM, then it may be that you have an 
unofficial PyQt or sip package you are trying to install.

SuSE 9 doesn't appear to include net-snmp.

If you can't find all of the RPMs you need, you should be able to install 
missing packages from source tarballs.
