RedHat RPMS
by Carl Russmann on Tuesday 10/Apr/2001, @20:04

I've found rpms for KDE 2.1.1 in the RedHat rawhide tree. To install them, I needed several other packages, but after all was said and done, it's all working fine on my RH7 box. Probably not good for those with limited bandwidth, though...

I'm compiling the SRPMS on a RH7 box. Unfortunately it is a minimal install of RedHat, and there are dozens of dependencies.

Could you provide the URL to Redhat KDE 2.1.1 packages?

rawhide RPMS

Several other packages?
I installed the rawhide binary RPM packages for kde 2.1.1 on my redhat7. It took a whole day. When I got all of the kde and all the packages it depends on I noticed I had downloaded about 86,876K. And the installation was not easy at all. I had to install quite a few new libraries. However many applications on my box depend on <b>the old</b> versions of those libs (notably openssl, openldap). My box runs apache and sendmail and I didn't want to take any chances and break something just to get the latest update of my favourite desktop environment. Although I was finally able to resolve all conflicts I'm not sure if I want to go through that procedure again in a few weeks when kde 2.2 is released.
