I can install this package properly by entering the sudo fink install kdebase3 command at the prompt and everything installs and compiles without a problem. When I come to launch KDE I get the following messages:
[Mark-Boyles-Computer:~] markboyle% startkde xsetroot: unable to open display '' xset: unable to open display "" xset: unable to open display "" xset: unable to open display "" iceauth: /Users/markboyle/.ICEauthority not writable, changes will be ignored _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root iceauth: timeout in locking authority file /Users/markboyle/.ICEauthority DCOPClient::attachInternal.

Could anyone please help me out as it would be useful to have a linux environment on my mac!! :-)) Mark P Boyle ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
