[Dale Kosan]

I downloaded and installed Chris's KDE2 from the site that has been
showing up in this list lately.I did a --test first and all passed.I
then did a rpm -Uvh *. rpm.Everything went fine till the end when it
came up with a "cant find make file" When I went into KDE I don't have
sound,the K Panel is gone and all the icons on task bar are now the
cog wheels.Did I do something wrong? Is there a fix for my problem?
Thanks for all the help you guys have given me....
