From my own experience of compiling and using Ice (C++, Java, Python, Ruby) on OpenSUSE 10.0 Linux, I know that this can be a worthwhile endeavor (I learned a lot from hacking ice.spec).

However, when OpenSUSE 10.3 quit to work properly on my computer, I switched to Kubuntu 7.10 two months ago and am extremely happy that "universe/devel" provides a full set of packages of Ice and its diverse language mappings (some minor configuration glitches were quite easy to fix).

Who would have thought that I (of all persons) would enjoy running an IceCS client on a Linux box (with the aid of the mono runtime) talking to an IcePython server on a Windows box (ActivePython 2.5.1.1).

Ah, apart from this praise I can't be of help with your problem, sorry.

Take care,
Andreas
