What's the last KDE that you tried? 2.0? I use KDE2.2.1 primarily, and get along just fine. But, I've got the horsepower for it. > > Some things you probly already looked at, but I'll ask: > > Do you have other libs installed that are in the way? > > Such as? > Do you have multiple versions of the libraries required, according to Doug's SxS: libfreetype 2.x libjpeg libmng libpng libxslt libungif libxml2 openssl libpcre libz Perhaps it's seeing an older/newer version of one of those libs that's causing the hiccup. FWIW, I compiled KDE 2.2.1 from SRPMs, not source, on a relatively stock eW3.1 installation (updated kernel to 2.4.9, and X to 4.1.0) without a hitch. I was able to compile kdebase from source (in order to get kdesud, which Caldera leaves out of its RPM, yet Konqueror kinda wants...), but that was after the installation from the KDE RPMs I rebuilt. Could it be that you've gotten yourself a bad download? I just compiled kdelibs-2.2.1 on my system, with this config: ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde2 --disable-debug --with-ssl-dir=/etc/ssl --enable-final Only difference between that and Doug's is I didn't use "--enable-mt" (My QT install doesn't have multi-threading) and the "--with-ssl-dir" directory.
