Problem installing KDE on Slackware 9.1
Hi to all. I am running Slackware 9.1 and I have installed KDE but it refuses to run , because it can't find libXinerama.so.1 . I don't know how to get this library and as I know Xinerama is for multiple monitors and I have only one . I don't know why KDE needs this. Is it possible to configure KDE to skip this library or if not, what package do i need in order to install this library ?
I think it's part of the XFree libs..............you might have to upgrade XFree86 as well to version 4.4.0....
HTH
How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on.
you need to do this:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ld --whole-archive -share -o libXinerama.so.1 libXinerama.a
ln -s libXinerama.so.1 libXinerama.so
Ok, I upgraded to Xfree86 4.4.0 and after fixing some problems with missing libraries KDE starts with gray screen, does some extensive swaping and then it hangs.
In the background it gives many errors - it lists all of its applications , saying there are comunication problems and they are crashing. No libraries are missing now. I tried with older versions and it gives the same screens full with the same errors whatever version I install.
I don't know what this errors mean, because thay say what is happening, not why !
Please help me ! I really want KDE !
I also had the xine problem . I got my slackware running with kde 3.2.2 by uninstalling evering kde and qt then upgradepkg Xfree from current and installpkg KDE from linuxpackages.net .
