Guest jlacroix Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hello everyone, I am back to Mandrake after fighting with Fedora Core 2 for a week trying to get KDE 3.3 installed, how do I do it with Mandrake? Konstruct doesn't seem to work, any RPMS for KDE33? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 As of yet, no rpms for Mandrake. IThe only way is from source until the rpms are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 How you do it from source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 On kde's website. There is a tool called Konstruct you would use to extract the sources. Makes installing it a little easier, or compile each one individualy. I am working on building rpms for them, but who knows when they'll be done.

Konstruct took about 3 hours just to give me "error 2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 i would wait for the kde 3.3.1 release before updating. in kde 3.3 there are still some annoying and a few grave bugs that led to several users switching back to kde 3.2.

mtaylor57 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I have KDE 3.3 on my Suse 9.0 box, and i love it. I upgraded from 3.1 though.... Any word on the Mandrake rpm yet? I'd like to try it out on MDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) i haven't found yet any kde3.3 rpm on any mirror for mandrake and the official rpms, supplied by mandrake will take a long time. you might have noticed that mandrake decided not to use kde3.3 in its distros before the most serious bugs are sorted out (e.g. not being able to move sensitive data into newer versions of kontact from "older" databases) and until there are some good testing results from other distros, thus it won't be available until mandrake 10.2 ships out.
