I tried installing KDE3 from source using checkinstall. After much ado with libraries missing or outdated, much fussing with qt3 and a lot of trial and error, things seemed to be going smoothly, until . . .
kdebase crapped out with: FontEngine.cpp:55: freetype/ftsnames.h: no such file or directory. ftsnames.h is in /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/freetype/ftsnames.h . I added that to PATH and tried again, but no go. When qt3 compile stopped by not finding qname, I added its location to PATH, and qt3 went smoothly. But here, nothing. kdeartwork failed with: make [3]: ***No rule to make target `/opt/kde3/lib/kwinla' needed by `kwin-openlook.la.closure' Stop. kdeaddons failed with missing files, all kate/ : plugin.h, application.h, docmanager.h,mainwindow.h and viewmanager.h On WS 3.1. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- "Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers.
