i noticed there are kde binarys for red hat, debian and a few other distributions, however i don't see a binary for a mandrake.
maybe i'm not looking right. but if there isn't one will kde binary be released anytime soon in the future?

Nope, there is no Mandrake version of kde 3.1.2.
And i don't expect one in the near future either, unless there is a user who is willing to compile kde for Mandrake and create rpm files from it.
Mandrake has financial problems, so I guess they can't afford to make a Mandrake version themself.

The only way I know of to get Mandrake RPMs for KDE 3.1.2 you're willing to run cooker. If you want to run cooker (developer version of Mandrake) head over to Easy Urpmi to configure urpmi. Then upgrade KDE with urpmi kdebase and other KDE packages. Please note though that this is development versions.

I have the solution, use Textar packages

You need to use the Textar packages.

First at all, add his repository to your sistem

Quoted

melenas@mel# urpmi.addmedia textar ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms/ with ./hdlist.cz

later type this

Quoted

melenas@mel# urpmi kdebase

that's all, remember to answer yes when detect incorrect signatures and ask you to continue the installation.

For fix this, follow the instructions in http://www.pclinuxonline.com/gpgkey.html
