Providing you have installed KDEsupport, which provides libgif2, you don't need libgif 2. As it says in the KDE FAQ, just type dpkg -i --force-depends <name-of-file>.deb and it will ignore all dependencies for that package. > >Also if you install a .tgz format program (i.e. source compile and install) how >do you tell dpkg that the required files are installed, as doesn't it look at >its package database to se if the .deb package it needs is installed? > >Regards > >Graham > > Again, just use force-depends to overide dependencies, and hopefully it should work. Incidentally, I think I remember you when I was trying to get KDE beta 3 to work myself - if it was you, then thanks, as I eventually got it up and running!
