hey all, I have the "SGI Version" of RedHat 7.1, pretty much the same except for XFS i think. I tried to install KDE 2.2, and first off, i want to know if this:

kde-i18n-2.2.tar.bz2 44megs

I want to know if that is the entire kde2.2 package, because i saw a lot of packages like "kdebase" "kdelibs" "kdeaddons", and they were all small, and that one is 44megs, i would think there would be a download with the whole thing,.. Ok well I have rh7.1 nothing added to it, do i have the latest QT right QT version? i did a locate on "qt" and it came up with directories that do have a later version than what is required .. I got to ./configure, make, but at "make install" it did a good bit, then it crapped out at a "recursive error" and it didnt go any further .. i then did a "make uninstall", is that right?, now i would like to know the correct way to compile, install it from source, dont want to use rpm's, i'd like to use tarballs.. oh and once it is "installed" how can i verify that my kde is 2.2.. well thank you all for the patience ..

Since you haven't received a reply yet and I have never installed KDE from source, I would suggest you check out all the relevent docs at www.kde.org (http://www.kde.org) and also any Redhat support sites out there.

Sorry as that's all I can suggest.
