Hi, yes, it helps. Thanx very much. I did some apt-get orgie, like # apt-get install libqt3=2:3.0.4-2 libqt3-mt=2:3.0.4-2 and # apt-get install libqt3-dev=2:3.0.4-2 libqt3-mt-dev=2:3.0.4-2 \ libqxt0=2:3.0.4-2 qt3-tools=2:3.0.4-2 libpng3=1.2.1-1.1.woody.2 and then I had to dpkg-buildpackage -b on my kdevelop-tree again. Luckily there is the -nc switch, so I didn't have to recompile kdevelop! Is there some HOWTO on doing one's own packet-server, so that I can have like deb file://var/local/debian ./ in my sources.list ? I didn't find anything in the man-pages... thanks again, ineiti PS: Vanity, vanity, but I have the good-ole mosfet-liquid back!
