Hi,
I installed KDE4 on my macbook (Leopard 10.5.7) using macports. It
took approx 6 hours and ran without problem. However I don't succeed
in starting KDE: The instruction from the package installation process
(visible in terminal) which is also mentioned on mac.kde.org doesn't
work. Still think the installation went well. Probably I need a
different instruction. Please help.
Details below.
I ran:
"sudo port install kdebase4"
It took about 6 hours and completed with only 1 error, checksum of
Phonon tar failed. I corrected that by downloading Phonon package
manually from ftp site and running "port install phonon". That
completed succesfully.
Then I wondered how to start KDE. I saw in my terminal (and on
mac.kde.org) the instruction:
##########################################################
# Don't forget that dbus needs to be started as the local
# user (not with sudo) before any KDE programs will launch
# To start it run the following command:
# launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
session.plist
##########################################################
######################################################
# Programs will not start until you run the command
# 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE'
# replacing $USER with your username, followed by
# 'open /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kdeinit4.app'
# in a Terminal.
######################################################
But this didnt give a hopeful result. Namely:
MacBook:~ wernerhoffmans$ launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/
org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
nothing found to load
MacBook:LaunchAgents wernerhoffmans$ sudo chown -R wernerhoffmans ~/
Library/Preferences/KDE
Password:
chown: /Users/wernerhoffmans/Library/Preferences/KDE: No such file or
directory
MacBook:LaunchAgents wernerhoffmans$ open /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/
kdeinit4.app
The file /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kdeinit4.app does not exist.
