Hey Grumpy, 
how are the other dwarves ?
nice to see all the fans coming out from under their rocks to support you in 
your hour of need last week ;-) .
Sorry i missed all the fun i myself have been very busy compiling kde2.2 from 
SRPMS . I am wondering if you also had the errors i had, eventually i 
downloaded the clean src and used it with the redhat *.spec files but had a 
hell of a time editing the spec files so that the build did not crap out . i 
found all the redhat srpms i got from au.kde.org to be useless.
my config follows and all are optimised for athlon unless code only supports 
i686
Athlon 1266 with 256MB ddr kernel 2.4.8 & heaps of disk space
XFree-4.1
qt2.3.1
gcc-2.96-95 ( and it is amatched set JRT ;-) )
glibc-2.2.3
rpm-4.03
i had also tried 
XFree4.03
gcc-2.96-85
glibc-2.2.10
also with no luck

Hamish
The Janitor
ps. on a more a personal note i too have always read both your and JRT's 
posts even in my recent self imposed exile after the "linux expert outburst".
the two of you always offer good advice and your humour is never 
misunderstood, i can only guess who was complaining and once again state 
" Ignore them and they will go away".
