SuSE is libc5, Redhat 5.0 is glibc, therefore rpms made for Redhat are problematic for SuSE. Earlier redhat rpms should work fine, although I always use alien to convert them to .tgz, as the path that redhat rpm's use is sometimes different from what is found on a SuSE box. You most likely ended up with kde beta 4 rpm's for libc6 (glibc2). Kde offers rpms for both libc5 and glibc.
No, on kde's ftp, there are options for libc5 and libc6. i dl'd the libc5's, and you have to alter the rpms to make them trip something in the suse/yast configure. the suse kde's have it, but the kde kde's don't. when i asked suse about this, they told me what they did to change the kde rpm's. My question was if this was necessary in other distributions, such as slackware or rh. if not, was any configuration after installing the rpms was necessary for those distributions. -- Aaron Seelye <roberto@cbvcp.com> <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
