AFAIK, AS2.1 is built on 7.2.  We run SGI Propack 2.2.1, which is
based on AS2.1.  The kde and qt packages are all prehistoric:

$ rpm -q kdelibs
kdelibs-2.2.2-7
$ rpm -q qt
qt-2.3.1-7

I usually avoid installing newer RPM's simply because of the dependency
issues and the risk to altering the base OS.

In cases like this I would download the source (not src.rpm's...they usually
barf on dependencies too) and build it from scratch.
