Also make sure you have an Xserver that works.
This is how I do it:
X -configure  follow directions moving XF86Config.new to
/etc/X11/XF86Config install kde3 the metaport: cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3 &&
make install create file .xinitrc with startkde in it startx with
whatever options you want to startx with I use: startx -- -depth 24

works for me.

There is a meta-port "kde3" that will install the desktop environment.  There 
is also a comparable package on the ftp sites.

Once KDE is properly installed, enter "startkde" (without quotation marks) 
into ~/.xinitrc and execute startx.

I hope this helps.

Did you try 'startkde' (without the hyphen) instead of 'start-kde' ?

Where is my KDE?

2004-01-07 Thread Mazen S. Alzogbi
Hi,

I installed kdebase along with other packages using pkg_add but I cannot
run start-kde. Why? Where is my KDE files that I installed are located?

TIA.
