Compiling KDE 3.2
I have tried 3.2 from two packages one of the the official SuSE packages for 8.2 and they have both given me a lot of grief. So I want to compile ti myself. the thing is, who do I go about doing this... Any help would be greately appreciated.
PS: I will do it from a fresh 8.2 install, Help...
Hi,
there is this great Tool called konstruct which you can download
here
Read the
README before you start.
Original von README
If you use SuSE 8.1 or 8.2 distribution you might be interested in "Detektive",
a simple script which checks and tells which rpm packages of your distribution
you have not installed meet these preconditions: Run "cd misc/detektive;make".
I'm interested in any help to extend "Detektive" to other distributions.
If you have problems starting/running the new KDE consult the
Newbeguide.
This worked like a charm for me!!! I did not get a single error during configuring or compiling.
Have Fun
Kool, I'll give it a try, is there a way I can install it so that it is available globaly and overwrites the existing KDE?
KDE 3.2
Yes there is a way you can overwrite your old exsisting kde and it says this in the documentation that comes with kdebase you just install it where the old one was installed. In your case i cannot tell you where they installed it but if they were half way competent they installed it in /opt/kde if not good luck looking
There is no greater futility then running windows ME.
Whenever I try to compile arts, i get the following error...

The problem is that I do have libGL.so in /usr/lib/ and I thought it was a permissions problem but when I try to change the permissions (as su) I get
chmod: failed to get attributes of `libGL.so': No such file or directory
It appears that the file is locked.
How can I fix this? Thanx for the help.
