I'm VERY new at this too and am currently installing KDE. To do so, to my understanding, you cannot have a previous version of KDE on your machine, or Qt (its GUI toolkit) as everything gets replaced. You also need to be running XFree86 4.x for this to occur. So here are my suggestions: 1. Go to http://freebsd.kde.org/instructions.shtml 2. Uninstall XFree86 3.x and go to /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 run ' make install clean ' 3. /usr/ports/x11/kde3 run ' make install clean ' That should do it. Or at least after a few days in hell it worked for me. ~ Matthew -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of messmate Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 4:33 PM To: freebsd-questions-en Subject: KDE3 install Hi, I have release 4.5 installed with kde-2.2.2. Is there a way to install KDE3 and the latest version of X without switching to the 4.6 release ? I have only a little experience without ports ( one at a time), not for exemple installing several packages on once withe the ports. The handbook refers only to install 1 package by switching to the package-port and a 'make' - 'make install' . Thanks for your help.
