KDE 3.1 HELP ME IM LOST lolol

[newbee-steve]

Ok I have downloaded everything under SuSE 8.1 78 rpms then started reading the installation and It said I needed Qt 3.1, Automake 1.5 and Autoconfig 2.5 do I install them first?
What are these and does'nt SuSE have them? I looked in the Qt 3.1 and there are all kinds of down loads do I download anything that see in 3.1 or how do you no what I need. and how do i start the install.
I do not need to crash this again I have reloaded this about 15 times playing in root trying to under stand linux ...
I will say that I like using Ximian Evolution and it looks like the new kde 3.1 has somthing vary close to it.


Please point me in the right direction

Where did you get these 78 rpms? incredible.....

and I was wondering... what does that nvidia G4 440 soundcard sound like listed in your hardware specs?

[sharth]

automake and autoconf are development tools, and are probably included within that package.

Ok G4 440 how do I change this soundcard to video lololol

all so look in kde 3.1 SuSE 8.1 there are 83 rpms to downloads for the complete install thats nuts...

rpm -qa | grep automake
rpm -qa | grep qt
will give you the versions you have, may need to download a newer one. To install kde, as far as I know:
rpm -i qt*
rpm -i arts*
rpm -i kdelibs*
rpm -i kdebase*

Download all 7 of them then do a rpm -i and do I need to do a make_install or anything ? I will start the downloads.

I will return on friday have a great night I will let you no how it went thank you .... steve

rpm are binary (compiled allready), "configure && make && make_install" you use with source packages (*src*).
rpm you just "rmp -i package" or just click on the icon :). If something is wrong, it won't install, just tell you what's missing.
Thre are also .srpm packges, which I am not sure where they go :confused:
$ man rpm

[newbee-steve]
