There are two issues. Qt3 and qt4 have completely different libraries, but their build tools, moc and qmake, have the same names. The easy solution there is to put the desired executables first in PATH. After the build is complete, then this is not an issue. Qt4 does not need any environment variables set if the PATH is right. I don't know if any KDE4 and Trinity libraries have a name conflict. I would suspect that some executable names, e.g. konsole, would conflict. Again that is easily solved solved with the right PATH for executables, but libraries may be an issue. I don't know how KDEHOME is used. Right now on my KDE3 system I only have KDE_FULL_SESSION=true KDE_MULTIHEAD=false KDE_PREFIX=/opt/kde I don't know why KDE_MULTIHEAD is false because I use two monitors without any problems. Perhaps that's because xorg is handling it and presenting one large monitor to KDE. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
