Hope this helps. And maybe I or someone else will push this package into the distribution itself one day. Hope this helps you and maybe others. Regards, Cor Hi Cor, thanks for your very informative reply and provision of the repository for kbibtex http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ Indeed, the number of repositories presented is very limited. It would be useful if you or somebody else could add it some day. I used it in the past with other versions of openSUSE as a rich source for other useful applications. Herbert too found a working kbibtex for Leap 42.1 here https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=KDE%3AExtra&package=kbibtex And I myself found one here the day before yesterday https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/home:wolfi323:branches:KDE:Frameworks5/kbibtex5?repository=openSUSE_Leap_42.1 This one leads to what can be seen in the screen-shot attached. But only now, after you and Herbert confirmed it _working_ on their machines, I find the courage to load it. I repeat the three links here for all those who may be facing similar difficulties. PS: my installation of openSUSE Leap 42.1 is still far from being "rock-solid" :-D Many thanks again and cheers! Michael Berger

Hi, by "I can find no working Kbibtex for it." what do you mean? Have you tried to compile kbibtex? http://home.gna.org/kbibtex/download.html In fact, I use jabref: http://jabref.sourceforge.net/ Em 26-11-2015 13:54, Michael Berger escreveu: Hi, I did the 'leap' from openSUSE 13.2 to 42.1 /KDE.
