Since I didn't feel like an install from sources, I downloaded KDE2.2 from the Caldera 3.1 site, converted them to jbl packages, and installed. The reason I picked Caldera was that I knew the packages have a compatible glibc and they would install to /opt and leave my KDE 2.1.1 stuff in /usr untouched. I got the base and libs packages. Do I need more as a minimum. When I tried bringing up KDE2 (using KDEDIR=/opt/kde2 and a path statement that put /opt/kde2/bin ahead of everything else, I was able to get part way before KDE2 barfed - unable to dload the dcop... stuff and some other things. All the directory stuff in the error messages looked ok. What else amy I missing? --- Collins Richey Denver Area jblinux 2.2 xfce sylpheed opera _______________________________________________ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
