You could install bundle-kde and get everything that it may depend upon as that could be a problem. I also got the dcop error even when trying to run kde (go to kde.com if you don't know what kde is) as a window manager. I solved that by opening a Mac terminal window and typing in 'dcopserver' which got it running and then started any kde package that I wanted or the entire kde window manager. KDE 3.4 has no such problem for me and works great, mostly. You could try that. and yes, kde and Oroborosx do not like each other at all and will not present a functional display. I'd install icewm from fink and use that as my x window manager if you don't want the entire kde bundle (it's very large and has tons of stuff from office to games to just about everything). So, to recap, try the dcopserver command in a mac terminal shell and then try kstars, but again oroborosx won't work. good luck, Brian > Ok, how do I start kde on my Mac then :) > > Best regards > S�ren > > On 17/5-2005, at 21.55, Alexander K.
