Yep, running it now, works beautifully

It could be that the rpm is corrupt. I did notice that the installer has virtually no error handling on corrupt packages. You could try deleting the libgnomeprint-devel rpm from /var/cache/redcarpet/packages and running the installer again. Perhaps selecting a different mirror, just in case the package was corrupt on the first one?!

just tried that no luck
Do you have any (or all) of these directories?
/var/cache/redcarpet/red-carpet.ximian.com:80
/var/cache/redcarpet/web-bos-ma-us.rc.ximian.com:443
/var/cache/redcarpet/packages/
The first directory may have a different server name if you use a public
mirror. Be sure that the libgnomeprint-devel package does not exist in
any of those directories.
If you delete the package from all the directories and the install still
fails run the the libgnomeprint-devel package through 'rpm -K'.

Na, I gave up. I'm finding it hard to switch from KDE...creature of habit. I've been using Gnome2 for the past couple days and just fumble around too much trying to find stuff that's at my finger tips on KDE. Bad excuse I know, but eh. Thanks, Tom On Wed, 2003-06-11 at 22:38, Pete Goodall wrote:

I didn't have any installation problems, but I am having problems actually running XD2. Right now, XD2 startup hangs when it tries to start Metacity. I get a dialog to configure my screensaver, when I quit the dialog nothing else happens. No errors, no nothing. I have to 'ctrl-alt-bkspc' to get back to KDM. Anyone know what might be causing XD2 to hang on startup? On Wed, 2003-06-11 at 05:24, illustre wrote:

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the double lock will keep; May no brick through the window break, And, no one rob me till I awake.
Just to update, I did get XD2 running. I had to rename all my .gnome* files in my home dir. This allowed XD2 to start. ONE WORD OF WARNING: XD2 uses the SAME DESKTOP DIRECTORY as KDE (~/Desktop). This bit me in the butt bigtime. It does give you an option to backup your existing settings, but it will only copy all the files currently in that directory to a "Desktop_old" directory, then proceed to remove/overwrite existing files. Namely links to the trash/drive icons, etc. These new desktop icons will not work in KDE. If you chose not to save your existing settings, ALL FILES THAT WERE ON YOUR KDE DESKTOP WILL BE LOST! I find this to be a little bit of poor planning on Ximian's side. On Wed, 2003-06-11 at 09:16, Preston Kutzner wrote:

Telling you that things will go away, and offering you an opportunity to back it up (which incidentally is the default, since I didn't know there was an option about it and I got the backup directory)? You're right, how dare they! Just like that pesky SuSE installation program! I mean if you click yes to the "Warning, are you sure, proceeding here will destroy your data", it will destroy your data!!! What is the world coming to
I acknowledge that they warn you. However, I don't see that XD2 should mess with your KDE desktop. I admit that losing my desktop icons was my fault. However, even when you do back-up your existing settings, XD2 replaces some of the KDE icons (like I mentioned earlier) like the trash, etc. I shouldn't have to move my desktop icons back and fourth depending on what desktop I'm using. I'm just saying there should be a 3rd option to use a separate folder altogether for XD2. That way, one could have both XD2 and KDE side by side w/out messing with eachother's files.

Nope! My installation hung after 1.5 hours of downloading. A variety of dependencies were at fault. I thought RedCarpet was supposed to take care of that prior to downloading? tom On Wed, 2003-06-11 at 03:24, illustre wrote:

This is most often caused by third-party (not provided by either SuSE or
Ximian) rpms.
