KDE 3.1 compilation from source....success!!!!

[oghanchi]

Hi all:

I am a newbie, and this is the first time I have been able to compile anything successfully. Yoohoo. :D

KDE 3.1 took 8 hours and compiled successfully. I used Konstruct to do the downloading and compiling.

Mandrake 9.0
P4, 2.0GHz, 256MBs RAM

My questions:

1- At the end of the install KDE asked me to add /home/oghanchi/kde3.1 into my path. I did set the path in /.bash_profile, and it shows up when I do echo $PATH in a terminal. Do I need to add the path (or any other path) anywhere else?

2- How do I add KDE into the list of Desktop managers in Mandrake, so I can choose it when logon window comes after reboot?

Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Omar

Nope, there is just fine, unless you have other users who wish to use KDE3.1. In that case, edit the PATH line in /etc/profile instead.

And for your other question, I'm afraid I don't use Mandrake and can't help you there.
