Hi, has anyone got running a self compiled kde 2.2.x on a potato machine?
I tried it out with ./configure --prefix=/usr/kde2.2.2 [...] The kdelibs and kdebase compiled fine, but now I can't start it. I set $KDEDIR to /usr/kde2.2.2 and wrote in $HOME/.xinitrc "exec /usr/kde2.2.2/bin/startkde". Then I run startx and the splash appears. But when kde "detects the connected devices" this button on the splash is blinking very long time and after this the splash disappears. I can close the xserver only with C-A-Del, then I see the error message: ---- [...] Could not dlopen library dcopserver.la: /usr/kde2.2.2/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc _IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root DCOPServer up and running.

Exiting! _IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root QSocketNotifier: Multiple socket notifiers for same socket 6 and type read xinit: connection to X server lost. waiting for X server to shut down ---- Maybe a linking problem? I can't really get on with this. Kde 2.1.2 from the debian packages works fine on my system. What is wrong? Do I have a chance to run kde 2.2.x on debian potato, in general? Thanks a lot for your response in advance. Eckhard
