I installed the tar files for rc2, and all is fine. If I recall, I also installed (rpm -i) qt-2.2.1. For some reason the -Uvh didn't work for qt2. -----Original Message----- From: Praedor Tempus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Niiiiice.

My qt IS updated. The latest qt2 packages were the first I upgraded since KDE is absolutely dependent upon it. Few questions. What version of libstdc++ do you have? What version of menu? What version of rpm? I believe these packages are the only logical possible problems, at least in my case. During rpm install of most of the KDE packages and the install of qt2, my /usr/bin/update-menus crashes/core dumps. This binary is supplied by menu. Menu requires the appropriate libstdc++ (I believe). It also, obviously, ties into the rpm install process. I am HOPING it is merely something simple like libstdc++, that all I need to do is install the proper version. During an attempt to build qt2 source several days ago, the build would fail because the configure script couldn't find libstdc++. Bizarre, because libstdc++ is right there in /usr/lib, which is in my /etc/ld.so.conf file, and I have run ldconfig in an attempt to make sure it is "known" about. praedor
