I was told that my mimelnk stuff should be in a certain place, but it was not there and although I seemed to not have any problems because of this, I went about removing all the Debian KDE 1.1 packages and QT. I then installed QT from source and then installed kdelibs and kdesupport from source. When I tried to install kdebase from source (Debian Slink system) I got an error about not finding net/if.h so I recompiled my kernel and started again with kdelibs and kdesupport but when I got to kdebase, I got the same error with net/if.h.
Why can I not install KDE on Slink from source? I have reinstalled all the KDE packages from debs, so at least I have something working. Perhaps Debian has some way of handling KDE mime types and I never had a problem in the first place? Still, I should be able to install from source but I can't. I did not have this problem with KDE 1.0 on OpenLinux. thanks -- Andrew [PGP5.0 Key ID 0x5EE61C37]
