I'd been using Mofset's Liquid style on KDE 3.0.5a on MDK 9.0 for quite a while. I wanted to upgrade to KDE 3.1, but didn't want to lose Liquid. I installed KDE 3.1 from here: ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-addon/KDE 3.1 MDK 9.0/rpms First I had to download all files into a subdirectory and run: rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm It told me what I had to do to get it installed. I had to delete a couple of files, grab kdetoys from texstar's site and install htdig from the 9.0 cdrom. After it passed the testing phase, I logged out of kde and into blackbox(you can use anything but kde) and installed it. I logged back into KDE 3.1 and it worked fine, just some minor tweaks. Now I had to get Mofset's Liquid. I looked for an updated rpm and it didn't exist, so I went to his web site to get the tarball. He claims on his web site( http://www.mosfet.org/liquid.html ) that "Mandrake uses a non-standard directory structure that breaks KDE software installation when compiling from source. Specifically, it uses a non-standard directory for the configuration files that control what shows up in the KDE Control Center, in the menus, and mimetypes. " Well, not to be detered, I installed it anyway. It didn't work. I did some digging and found it installed it in /opt/kde instead of /usr. I uninstalled it and did the following: make distclean ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install It showed up in the Control Center and worked fine. I sent Mofset an e-mail stating my success and how I did it. He replied that before he changes his web site to reflect this, he needs to make sure it's not an isolated case. So my question is has anyone done this and had any success? If not, is anyone here willing to try this and report on its success or failure?
