I tried to install the kdetoys-2.2.2-8mdk.i586.rpm using urpmi it would not get installed. urpmi just gave the error message that an error occurred without any explanation. I then used rpm to install it. This time the installation was successful. I checked the installed packages using "Software Manager" and the extraneous packages did not show up. It looks like the problem is solved. No compilation was necessary. Thanx to everyone. Seedkum
