I received very generous help from several people, but nevertheless
can't get to first base installing KDE.
1. ran rpm -qip kdelibs*.i386.rpm
I have version 2.0.1, but not installed
2. Downloaded a set of stable KDE packages from SourceForge, for Red
Hat 7.0. (arts, kdeaddutil, and kdesdk not available in stable
versions).
3. Ran rpm -Uvh qt-2.2.2-2.i386.rpm and installed it.
If I now run gnorpm, , verify says no problems, but inquiry says
that my install date is 24 hours in future (tomorrow). If I
run rpm -qip qt*, it says qt not installed. Even after
running /sbin/ldconfig -p, still not installed.
4. Ran rpm -Uvh kdelib* kdesupport*
or include the beta: rpm -Uvh art* kdelib* kdesupport*
or just rpm -Uvh kdelib*
and get 2-3 dozen failed dependencies.
5. These error messages take the form:
libjscript.so.2 is needed by kdebase-1.1.2-48
First, I'm not tring to install kdebase yet, and so why kdebase failed
dependencies? I didn't try to install kdebase yet.
Second, in each case, the needed library is already installed. For
example, if I run /sbin/ldconfig -p, it returns the line:
libjscript.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libjscript.so.2
It is my understanding that running this command registers the library
in the database, but running the rpm install afterward running
ldconfig makes no difference.
There is indeed a /usr/lib/libjscript.so.2.0.0 with the symlink there
from libjscript.0.2.
All this done by root.
