Hey Nick, When you compile a program from source, most of them will install their programs under /usr/local (/usr/local/kde for KDE). However, this is not where SuSE is installing their KDE stuff. That is located in /opt/kde instead of /usr/local/kde. But instead of trying to change that compilation setting (which is possible and not that hard), why are you compiling from source? SuSE has already done that for you ;-) I have a SuSE compiled quanta 3.2.3-3 running on my system (checked with rpm -q quanta on command line). It was installed from the official (?) KDE 3.2.3 package updates provided by SuSE. So, unless you have a really good reason to compile from source, first try to go the "official" road. If you need help installing, check the threads that have appeared over the last week with subject including either Yast or kde-3.2.3 or YOU (don't remember which). If the discussions are too confusing, just post another "newbie" question. Good luck, Eric On Sunday 20 June 2004 01:32, Nick Mudge wrote:
Hello,
I was just compiling quanta 3.2.3 from source and when i ran "make install" I got this message:
*************** Important *************************
Add /usr/local/kde/bin to your PATH and add /usr/local/kde to your KDEDIRS!
I don't know how to do that. Can someone please tell me how to? I'm new at linux. Thanks.
Nick
