Hi,
I'm trying to get KDE running, just to play a little bit. When I run
kde from the command line, I am told that various kde components can't
connect the X server, and it craps out, even as root.
I have a fairly messy setup, and I am not sure what to try next.
I've already spent several hours downloading various versions of components
and trying them out. I'm using kde 1.1 (kde doesn't seem to have debianized
1.1.1, yet, at least not at the ftp sites I tried). It needs at qt of at
least version 1.42. The only debs I could find were 1.40 and 1.44. When I
tried to install 1.44, it wanted more recent version of a couple of
libraries. Looked like stuff from potato which scared me off, so I am using
the qt tar ball which I compiled myself.
Does anyone know why kde would be unable to connect to the X server
? I don't think it is because it can't find the qt libraries. I set up all
the environment variables to make qt visible even though it's in
/usr/local/lib (I did have a problem but ldd told what was invisible and I
fixed that).
Failing answers to the above, does anyone know where I can get a deb
of qt 1.42 ?
Thanks,
Gerald
