Well I finally have KDE3.2 on my system, however to get it there required an install of 4.9. The backstory: I was running 4.8 + KDE3.1, wanted to upgrade to KDE3.2. No amount of portupgrading/rebuilding/package fetching seemed to get me past KDE 3.1. By the time I was done I had to do a pkg_delete -a and re-install KDE 3.1 just to get to a stable system again. I finally gave up, and did a clean install of 4.9 from CD with no packages installed. Next I install the cvsup package and cvsup'd the ports tree. Doing that and then make/installing portupgrade gets you ruby 1.8 and the latest port upgrade. Then I could go into /usr/ports/x11/kde3 and do a make; make install. 30 hrs later my system has all of KDE 3.2 installed. I expect I'll get my subscription copy of 4.10 in the mail with KDE 3.2 today (it would be poetic justice) On the compilation front. It is impossible to get a clean link with the gcc 2.95 toolchain. You'll get warnings about unsafe function calls. This does not happen with the gcc 3.3 toolchain as far as I can tell. The "GLX" error that is printed when a KDE application is run relates to a lack of OpenGL support on the X Server. It shouldn't complain unless the application requires OpenGL. --Chuck
