Getting KDE2 to work with Redhat 6.2

[c_guy]

Well after about a week of frustration, and suffering, I finally managed to get kde2 to compile from the source and it works mint. I could not get the qt 2.2.x to compile kept giving me errors. What I finally had to do was run the qt ./configure -no-opengl , without the opengl option enabled. I think this was because I had installed the nvidia drivers, and it changed the libs qt looks to link to for opengl support. Anyways, once this compiled successfully, compiling each of the other kde2 tar packages was easy, just ./configure; make; make install, each other package. Starting with kdesupport, then kde libs, then kde base. After that it's all gravy... the order doesn't matter.
Kde2 looks great and the window manager is excellent.

Hope this helps others...
