Believe it or not, I had very few problems installing KDE3 from source on Corel Linux. If you install from source, the dcopidl should be in kdelibs-3.0.tar.bz2. It is important to install in this order: qt-3.0.3 , then arts-1.0.0, then kdelibs-3.0. After that you can install the others in any order, except kdeaddons which if you install it must be installed last. I'm assuming you installed qt-3, though you didn't mention it Are you setting all your env. vars? I installed in a strange path obviously you'll have to adjust, but here' what worked for me: export KDEDIR=/afolder/corel_addons/kde3/ export QTDIR=/afolder/corel_addons/qt-x11-free-3.0.3/ ./configure make all # make install I also added the following 2 lines to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig: /afolder/corel_addons/kde3/lib /afolder/corel_addons/qt-x11-free-3.0.3/lib HTH -- -CraigW -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
