people if they had more luck then I did and if they are using the SuSE RPMS or installed KDE2 from sources. If I would like to install from source, do I have to remove KDE1 and KDE2 from my system first? Any tips would be appreciated.
You don't have to remove anything. I build with the --prefix set to /opt/kde2-HEAD which isolates the whole code, then set QTDIR and KDEDIR to point to the correct places. It works like clockwork.
Right here was where I had problems. Qith QTDIR set to qt-1.x I couldn't compile qt-2.x. It died saying it couldn't find qt. With KDEDIR set to KDE2 the KDE packages barfed a lung. I didn't want to be using or firing a script to switch them back and forth all the time. That's why I stripped KDE and Qt-1.x JLK
You shouldn't be having a problem. Provide more information, like what are the error messages, and what are those two environment variables set to in your compile shell/script?
