RE: trying to upgrade to kde 3.5

What kind of files are these? For me, they just look like source directories. They can be installed with the usual ./configure ; make ; make install (first arts, then kdelibs and then all other KDE packages in random order).

But I would recommend to download the propiate files for your distribution (RPM files in this case).

RE: trying to upgrade to kde 3.5

hi bram,
thanks for the reply, ive got a bit furter since then, using Konstruct..

basically these are all the files for KDE3.5 unziped and all located in a KDE 3.5 DIR on my desktop.
from /home/damienb/desktop/KDE 3.5/konstruct/kde i run make install....

this goes through the motions, but failes with these errors

Well, that's right, there is no pkg-config tarball on the server. I can't imagine why konstruct is trying to fetch it, though -- perhaps you should install it separately, then give it another try?
