RE: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2?
You need bzip2, all the rpm-3.0.5, and I believe I had to --force and/or --nodeps to get a few packages to go in. The files I downloaded are .tar.bz2 and I am still waiting for the last few to finish before I try to enter KDE2 again.. I also needed bison, menu, mandrake_desk, and a ton of other packages.

RE: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2?
Dunno, but I am going to reinstall 7.1 on my system since trying to get kde2 to work seems impossible on my system too. Seemed odd yesterday though that kde.org had rc2 version and mandrake packages were there and they are all date stamped 10/13 however the packages wont install since I installed the ones from cooker (which are older in date) but the cooker files are claimed newer according to rpm. Cooker dates are 10/6 and 10/10 it seems. How could these files be a higher rev package when they are date stamped earlier ?? Maybe it is time to install RH on my primary machine, it is on my secondary machine with no probs then again, i dont install many things on it either cause I do like Mandrake -Original Message- From: Leopold Palomo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 6:11 PM To: Expert Subject: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2?

Re: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2?
As someone said before, have you upgraded mandrake_desk and menu before starting. when installing kdebase or any other package with an extra devel package it will say that the older kdebase-devel is dependent on it. I force the install and then install the devel package. As for the other dependency problems I found it a matter of taking note and tracking down the libs etc that were required. Look at the error messages carefully. they tell you exactly what the problem is. I've been using the latest packages from cooker on top of the 7.2 mandrake beta that had the 1.93 packages. After a lot of fiddling and dowloading extra little bits it has all been worth it. My system is very stable and I haven't enjoyed myself so much in years Keep persevering, its worth it Grant On Tue, 17 Oct 2000, you wrote: Dunno, but I am going to reinstall 7.1 on my system since trying to get kde2 to work seems impossible on my system too.

RE: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2?
I do agree there. I installed Helix-Gnome with no probs. I actually went to bed and in the morning, there it was with all the latest greatest of whatever it needed to make it happen. If KDE had an updater they would have a very nice package. I do however like Evolution for Gnome, as I have to use Outlook at the base here, it comes closest to it, and real conveinent. Still don't know why the packages on kde.org for Mandrake are newer time stamp, but yet older packages according to rpm. -Original Message- From: Michael Dolan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 9:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2? this is where KDE needs a company/group like helix code.
