Hi there,

    I am running 2.2.5 on my system. I'd like to find the easiest way to
install KDE.
Space is a little tight on my system, so I'd like to minimize the amount
of space needed during this process as well.

    I tried using the kde-1.0 "meta-port", but that didn't get me
anywhere. (I don't have the entire ports tree installed on my system).
If the ports tree is what is needed to make this work, how do I download
and install the ports tree? How much space will this take?

    I also tried doing it the hard way: installing each package by hand.
I didn't get real far doing this either. I installed Mesa-2.6, but the
another required package, qt-1.4, didn't seem to find it. Here's the
error I am getting:

# make install
>> Checksum OK for qt-1.40.tar.gz.
===>  Installing for qt-1.40
===>  qt-1.40 depends on shared library: MesaGL\.13\. - found
install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555
/usr/tmp/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/x1
1-toolkits/qt140/work/qt-1.40/bin/moc /usr/local/bin
install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444

-sf /usr/local/lib/libqt.so.1.40 /usr/local/lib/libqt.so
-sf: not found
*** Error code 1

    If you know of a relatively painless way to install KDE, I'd be
interested in hearing about it...

    Thanks in advance,
