Several of you have E-Mailed me asking for instructions on how to
compile and set up KDE. I am forwarding my message to Ronnie
Thum to the list so that everyone may benefit, since there are
many of you who want help with this.
I use RHL 5.1; these instructions should work with any RHL 5.x
distribution. I also use qt-1.40, I found it and the qt-devel
package in RPM format (will E-Mail it to you privately if it's
not available anymore). E-Mail me privately if I am unclear on
any point here.

First, FTP to ftp.kde.org and go to:
/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/rpm/generic/source.
Now, download all the RPM files there to some temporary
directory. I'm assuming you are using RHL 5.1.
Next you'll need QT. I use QT version 1.40. There is an RPM
version of it out there somewhere, but I don't know where it is
right off. It's about 3.5 megs; if you want me to E-Mail it to
you, let me know and I will.
Install QT via RPM (or compile it if you DL the sources).
Install all the RPM stuff you downloaded for KDE.
Go to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
There will be several .tar.gz files there. Assuming the KDE
stuff is all that is in this directory, Unpack them like this:
find . -name '*.gz' -exec tar -zxvf {} \;
Then remove all the .gz files:
rm -rf *.gz
If you're using QT 1.40, you'll need to apply the patch. Do
this:
patch -p0 < kdebase-qt-1.40.patch
Now you're ready to compile. First, compile kdelibs like this:
cd kdelibs-1.0
./configure
make
make check
make install
Now do the same for kdesupport-1.0 and kdebase-1.0.
Now you're ready to compile the rest of the packages. Compile
them exactly like you did the three above except for *ONE*
change:
When compiling kdeadmin-1.0, do this:
./configure --with-pam
make
make check
make install
The other five reminaing packages should be like the first three.
This ordering of installation is important. You need the libs
package first. Next must come base and support. Then the third
grouping includes the remaining six.
Hope this helps! And let me know if you need the QT package. I
can email them. They're about 3.5 megs.
