Nope, just built as usual... prelink is something the end user runs after package installation in any case. I will upload the rest of KDE 3.1.2 in the next few days, I am currently cleaning out the kdebase bug list, which started out with over 400 open bugs, I am now down to around 280 open. Chris

If you want KDE 3.1, you need to remove all KDE 2 apps because KDE 2 and KDE 3 interfere with each other when both are installed in /usr (which is what is used as the prefix for KDE on Debian).

I talked with Danny on IRC and we agreed on that I'll write a HOW-TO for compiling your apps from source, maybe adding a buildscript.

I think the build script is a good idea. Perhaps all it should contain is something like #! /bin/bash export kde_htmldir="share/doc/kde/HTML" if ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install; then echo "Installation succeeded. Add /usr/local/bin to your PATH, and /usr/local to your KDEDIRS..." else echo "Installation failed." fi Ralf> Any preferences on scenarios to cover ? with --prefix=/usr Ralf> and/or /usr/local ? etc. ? If I understand the FHS correctly, that should be "--prefix=/usr/local".. cheers domi -- Many pages make a thick book.

Problem using cryptplug with kmail

Okay, is this a temp source glitch?
Old sources for kde at source.. say 404 for Packages. deb http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian stable main Kde site now says the latest srouces are at http://download.us.kde.org/stable/3.1.2/Debian but that gives problems too.

Hopefully that will give me time to test out my ideas on cdbs. I am hopeful it will be able to solve most of the packaging problems relating to debian KDE and 3rd party apps. Chris
