Hey, Just wondering if anyone's installed 3.1 alpha yet on a SuSE setup, with there being no RPMs and all. If so, any problems getting the tarballs installed? Using both 3.1a and 3.0.x on the same computer, or just 3.1a? Planning on maybe giving it a try, since 3.1a looks and sounds sweet from what I've read and snapshots, and I've read a few people wrote it's very stable for an alpha.

Hmmm... Correction, there are 8.0 RPMs at: http://download.au.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/kde-3.1-alpha1/SuSE/ However, they will overwrite the 3.0.x setup, read the WARNING message in the directory. I wonder if there will be 7.3 packages. Maybe I'll wait on the tarballs just in case...

I've been running kde from cvs for a while now, parallell to the SuSE rpms. It's pretty easy to set it up Before you configure, do "export KDEDIR=/somedirectory", where somedirectory is where the new kde will be installed. I use /opt/kde3-test. Then compile and install libarts_lgpl (separate download), arts, kdelibs and kdebase in that order. Then do whatever wlse you want to run in any order, and finish up with kdeaddons and kdeartwork. Then, when you run it, do export PATH=/somedirectory/bin:$PATH and export WINDOWMANAGER=/somedirectory/bin/startkde, then do startx and you're set //Anders

Thanks for the tips. I'm not really expecting RPMs for 7.3, so those will come in handy. KDE's just one of those things where you can't wait to see what's next. ;-) Later, Joe "Flame" Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firechild Web Design and CGI Scripting Services http://firechild.net Secretary, World Association of Internet Marketing http://waim.org Webmaster, Amerikanska - For Americans In Sweden http://amerikanska.com Meta-editor, Open Directory Project http://dmoz.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
