That seems to be borne out.

It failed to compile because it couldn't find all the headers. I used the command ./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include/kde --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib/kde3 and that is currently compiling. Did I need to use this complicated command, or is this a sympton of the fact that the package wants autoconf 1.8, and I have 1.7 installed? I'll let you know what happens with the compile when its done. -- Itai Itai Seggev, University of Chicago, Department of Physics Co-coordinator, Carmel Project (http://linbrew.sourceforge.net/carmel) In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you share their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
