The point is that there are no KDE 2.2-debs for Potato! There are some for sid (unstable) which can be used with woody (testing) with a little trick, but I don't know if that works with Potato as well, you need a late version of apt-get, but I think that the base-libs of potato are not able to cope with these KDE-binaries that are compiled for newer versions. If your box is NOT a server, needing 99% uptime and the latest security-patches available cause of a high possibility to be attacked, you can upgrade your whole system to woody and then get the KDE 2.2-bins from sid. It works fine for me and for a lot of other people in this list as well! Search this list for further details (or ask me again and i'll repost the proper inforamtion). <snip> > I also have the KDE2.21 files on a cd-rom, but after extracting the kdebase > or kdelibs and trying to do a ./configure it fails on > checking for libz... configure: error: not found.

Btw: compiling KDE from scratch is a _really_ hard task, but on the other hand you see what Ivan's doin' for all of us... > Sooo... perhaps the problem could be solved if I could find a server with > the correct files on and I could upgrade, or manage to install from this > CD. It has been suggested that i upgrade from potato to Woody, is this a > good idea? How would I go about it? As I already said, that depends on how you use your box! I do not have any problems with woody at all, it works really fine! Then you just have to get the KDE-debs from sid, but believe me, that's not hard at all!!! <snip> > Thankyou =) > > Rachel Franz - -- Wenn auch die Sicherheit vor den Menschen bis zu einem gewissen Grade eintritt durch eine bestimmte Macht, St�rungen zu beseitigen, und durch Reichtum, so entspringt doch die reinste Sicherheit aus der Ruhe und dem R�ckzug aus der Masse.
