This is enlightening, but I have one more question... How does one
install a library? I downloaded the RPM's for KICQ, the KDE utility
for using Mirabilis ICQ servers.
One of them is the app itself and the other is the libraries... The
app wont install without the libraries and the KDE utility for
installing RPM's asks me where should it install the libraries.
