Hello
After last week's kernel compile from hell I thought that I might
tempt fate and try for a KDE compile with some snapshots from........
ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/Mirrors/ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/snapshots/
and
http://www.kde.org/mirrors.html
I got hold of these URLs after contacting the authors of Kmail. I
wrote to them to explain that I thought that Kmail (0.79) was very
good. They wrote back and explained that a new version was
available. So I thought "might as well have a go".
The files that I used were......... kdelibs-990415.tar.bz2
kdenetwork-990407.tar.bz2
kdesupport-990413.tar.bz2
After about an hour of troilling away with the keyboard with
./configure make make install and other things the new KDE was
staring me in the face. It looks really good :-)
I clicked on the icon that I have created to start Kmail. Does it
work ? Does it hell !! I've located the executable in /opt/kde/bin
and clicked on that as well. I get about three seconds of the hard
drive working and Kmail tries to start. Then, nothing. I suppose if
I was using a MS Windows system I could get someone to e-mail a file
to me but it's difficult to get out of this one. I've had a look at
http://buglist.kde.org and the web form makes a request that bug
reports should be longish and to the point. No point in trying that.
Thank goodness that I'm using XC Mail and XF Mail with Netscape
Mail.
Thanks
