Re: [newbie] RPMs Causing Grief
I installed them in the order that was recommended..qt, kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase, then no specific order for the rest. Can't get even QT installed, it abends.

Re: [newbie] RPMs Causing Grief
Jose, thanks for the info. I did it and it solved the problem. This should have been a 'man rpm' solution. Sorry. Harry "Jose M.
