I've compiled and run a number of apps on RH 6.0 w/ KDE 1.1.2.  I didn't
like the RH location of KDE in /usr so I down loaded KDEs *.src.rpm files
and created my own rpms for /opt/kde.  I had previously considered the QT
issue, but KDE warns against QT 2.x for KDE 1.x.  Try QT 1.4.2.  (For 1.4.4,
you'll have to modify one of the config files for gif support).

Good luck

                Subject:        Does anyone use KDE apps?

                I was curious if anyone on this list uses KDE or the
associated apps at all?
                I've tried to compile a number of KDE apps on a RedHat 6.1
box (full
                installation) and have been unable to do so. Ever time I run
the ./configure
                script I keep getting the following error:

                checking for kde headers installed... yes
                checking for kde libraries installed... configure: error:
your system fails at
                inking a small KDE application!
                Check, if your compiler is installed correctly and if you
have used the
                same compiler to compile Qt and kdelibs as you did use now

                I've tried installing the source for Qt 2.0.1-5 and the Qt
1.XX sources, as
                well as kdelibs, and recompiling them using rpm -ba
foo.spec. Even after
                recompiling and re-installing the packages I get this same
error. I don't know
                enough to fix this beyond what I've done, so if anyone can
help, I would really
                like to get this working, since RedHat is more stable on my
hardware than
                Linux-Mandrake (the other distribution I've been trying.)

                Thanks for your time in advance.
