I think 2.1.x something. Its on one of my boxes at work, so i can't check at the moment. > get > along just fine. But, I've got the horsepower for it. I've got the horsepower (its a dual PIII-933 box with 512MB RAM). Overall i think KDE2 is a pig, and butt ugly, but i won't go down that road again. I was just hoping that it had improved in some notible fashion. > > > Some things you probly already looked at, but I'll ask: > > > Do you have other libs installed that are in the way? > > > > Such as? > > > > Do you have multiple versions of the libraries required, according to > Doug's > SxS: > libfreetype 2.x > libjpeg > libmng > libpng > libxslt > libungif > libxml2 > openssl > libpcre > libz Yup, all are installed.

This box is running a RH variant with a 2.4.14-xfs kernel. The current KDE-2.1.x version on it was compiled from SRPMs. A couple weeks (or months, i forget) ago i tried to upgrade to KDE-2.2.0 from the SRPMs and ran into all kinds of ugliness, and gave up. Perhaps i'll try again with the 2.2.1 SRPMs. > Could it be that you've gotten yourself a bad download? I guess there's a possibility, but i'd think that the tarballs wouldn't extract if there was corruption. > I just compiled kdelibs-2.2.1 on my system, with this config: > ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde2 --disable-debug > --with-ssl-dir=/etc/ssl > --enable-final > > Only difference between that and Doug's is I didn't use "--enable-mt" > (My QT > install doesn't have multi-threading) and the "--with-ssl-dir" > directory. I'll give that a whirl before trying the SRPMs again. Either way, it will be some time next week before i get time for that. thanks for your input. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
