I was delighted to hear that it was a YaST available package and went out to my SLES9 server right away to install it, no compiling it for me heehee... darn! not listed in YaST on SLES9.
OK then maybe it is only in SLP9.2...I fired up one of my VMs and guess
what...not there either.
Now I am bummed out and wish I would have never read that article,
unless...just maybe...you guys can help me out.

Hey Mike, The good news is, phpMyAdmin is really easy to install ... (no compiling necessary!)
1) Log in to your SUSE box as root so you can save the phpMyAdmin files in the /srv/www/htdocs directory.
2) Use your Web browser to download the "latest stable version" of the phpMyAdmin code from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/
3) Save the download (gzip version) in the /srv/www/htdocs/ directory.
4) Click the home (house) icon and browse to the file.
3) Right-click on the file and under the "Actions" menu selection, choose "Extract Here".
4) Once the files are extracted, right click on the folder (probably something like phpMyAdmin-2.6.0-pl3) and rename it to "phpMyAdmin". (Make it all lower case if you like).
5) Follow the instructions to modify the configuration file (config.inc.php) which is in the phpMyAdmin folder.
6) Point your browser to http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin and away you go!

- What's up with the repeated numbering? Shouldn't it be 1 thru 8 rather than 1 thru 4 and 3 thru 6?
- Cool, but somehow I'm facing somekind of configuration problem... (phpMyAdmin 2.8.X) It didn't work with the configuration file, only with root, and without password.
- Very clear explanation. Helpful for those of us making first steps.
