I finally got the correct files for KDE and unTARred them in the directories, the files that someone suggested I download was the Source so I downloaded the Source and got the stuff unTarballed as I said a minute ago an then I found I need a package called QT so I toddle down to www.troll.no and downloaded the free QT-1.33 package and installed it, sounds good so far doesn't it ?? Wrong........ When I install the QT Package and type make in the directory it's in at chuggs happily along for a few seconds and then gives up with some Errors like it can't find files like qarray.h or somethin, the files are there usually in ./src/widgets or whatever, i've tried putting these into the path variable but that doesn't help, I've tried following the instructions in ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt/source/INSTALL which also gives up on the MAKE thing. I thought I could be intelligent and try instal the KDE with the SOURCE of QT and not the BINARIES, dumb idea, it doesn't work, when I run ./configure from the KDEbase dir if gives up and says that I don't have the QT headers and includes needed, when I try ./configure --with-qt-dir it gets further and tells me to try again with another prefix, can anyone help, all I want is to get the god-damned KDE so I can replace my boring old Window Manager (wm2 BTW). Also, when I try to unTarball the KDESUPPORT file it keep telling me that it can't create files and give wacky errors like 'can't create kdesupport/makefile.am no a directory' and crap like that, when I then try mkdir ./kdesupport or mkdir kdesupport or mkdir /fat16/kde/kdesupport {that's the full path} it gives an error saying can't create, file already exists........ Come on you so-called FreeBSD geniuses, prove yourself....... Get your brains in gear......
