I just installed KDE 2.1 last night. It was a fresh install. I had to get a couple of lib rpms but the stranges one was libkmid.so.1(?) I did a search on rpmfind and got a list of files that containted it or a variation of it. I then did a google search for it and found the home page. http://perso.wanadoo.es/antlarr/libkmid.html Other rpms I had to install include libmng-0.9.4-1 lm_sensors-2.5.2-3 qt-2.2.4-0.70.4 Good luck John Miller -----Original Message----- From: Andy Zbikowski (Zibby) [mailto:andyzib at ringworld.org] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 9:16 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] KDE 2.1 RPMs "Thomas T.

I tried the official KDE debs from kde.org. They liked to break. Then I found the debs on kde.tydc.com. Mmmm...much better. If you can't find RPMs blessed by Red Hat, you're most likely going to be stuck doing it the hard way. (Removing the old before installing the new.)
