Installing KDE3.1 on RedHat8

hi

i've had a major problem trying to install KDE3.1 on my RedHat 8 workstation. i received dependancy errors initially Qt so i set about installing Qt and guess what i got yet another dependancy error saying KDE .... packages. i'm locked in a vicous circle. anyway i tried a fresh install of RH8 leaving out KDE & all apps etc.. and yet again i get dependancy errors. even using the --nodeps switch.

what on earth is going wrong? i've noted loads of posts with other RH8 users experiencing exact same prob.

has anyone using RH8 successfully installed KDE3.1? if so how?

kde 3.1

You have three options:
-Install from source. Good luck :)

-Pickup the official redhat binaries from:
ftp://download.uk.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1.1/RedHat/8.0/i386/
e.g.:
wget ftp://download.uk.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1.1/RedHat/8.0/i386/*
rpm -Uvh *rpm

This way rpm determines the right sequense. But it takes a while.
And redhat crippled the kde code a little bit, but it worked for me.

-Or try this site http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/. I haven't tried this. But i think they haven't modified the code.
