Hey AC: Thanks. Yes , i saw the chicken/egg posts and do care.:) My concern focuses around any src.rpm and the requirements that get placed into them that are not part of the coder's original reqs(not incl rpm reqs, of course). There must be good mdk reasons for this but do not know what. Chik\or\egg dilema is just part of prob. I have the kde-2.1 LM7.2 binaries now (thanks to mdk kde team!!!) and once they're in will see if error repeats. That will be a while tho. Not kde fan - I just wanted to 'milk the cow' a bit - not buy it. Still dld'ing cookerISOs too. Will try --rebuild for qt in it once it is in and up - if/when it is up.:) Have A Great Day! rj Linux: Get it. Use it. Improve it. =================================== --- "R.I.P.
