( I am installing onto a single hard disk , I am NOT using any virtual machine . I consider using virtual machine in final testing an important error because at the end the distribution will be installed onto a bare metal . ) On that hard disk , I was trying to install PC-BSD 9.0 amd64 RC1 , to check its KDE4 usage , but due to its very long install time , I have discontinued it and I have Installed Scientific Linux . It is using KDE4 and it is working very well . Therefore , I will not be able to supply any error message at present . My opinion is that , the error messages are not directly related to my computer , but inconsistencies between compiled parts . For example , one message was about : kcheckrunning is not found . This was in /usr/local/kde4/bin directory . By thinking PATH is not properly defined , I have included /usr/local/kde4/bin into PATH , but that did not solve any problem . I have checked the 9.0 i386 RC1 PATH . It does not contain /usr/local/kde4/bin . I have studied /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde script ( without much understanding ) of 9.0 amd64 RC1 . It seems that , it is defining path itself . I do not know whether its definition is correct or not . Perhaps the problem is in those definitions . Additionally there was "...?... crashed" messages . I do not know . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
