thanks to Duncan Haldane <duncan@feynman.princeton.edu> there are new and
improved binary rpm packages available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/contrib/distribution/rpm/RedHat-5.1/i386/binary/egcs/
and its mirrors.
Here follows the README:
Notes on the kdexxxx-1.0-2rh51.i386.rpm KDE-1.0 rpms.
(1) These rpms are built to use the latest egcs-compiled
qt-1.40-1rh51.i386.rpm that (if it is not in this directory)
is found at
ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt/linux/redhat/qt-1.40-1rh51.i386.rpm
(2) They work on i386 RedHat 5.1 systems.
(3) They also work on i386 RedHat 5.0 systems
where the gcc-c++-2.7.2.3 compiler is NOT installed. You will
need to install libstdc++-2.8.0 which is part of the RedHat 5.1
release (available at ftp.redhat.com and mirrors)
(4) They are all compiled with egcs on a glibc2 system.
Dont mix them with rpms compiled with gcc-c++ or libc5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Simple installation instructions:
(a) Install libstdc++ if necessary (RedHat 5.0 systems).
(b) Install qt-1.40-1rh51.i386.rpm (NOT the qt-1.40-1rh50 rpm)
(c) Install kdesupport, kdelibs , kdebase, + other kde rpms.
All of these should be have the Release number 2rh51
(e.g. kdesupport-1.0-2rh51.i386.rpm)
(d) Edit your /etc/profile file: add the lines
KDEDIR="/opt/kde"
PATH="$PATH:$KDEDIR/bin"
export KDEDIR
just before the line beginning with
export PATH PS1 HOSTNAME HISTSIZE .......
(e) in each user's home directory (if they wish to use kde)
create a .Xclients file with the single line
/opt/kde/bin/startkde
If you wish to use kdm instead of xdm, then edit the
last line of /etc/initab, which is
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon
to replace this by
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon
x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
This will start kdm instead of xdm when the system runlevel is 5
(f) (optional) If you wish to configure the background to
the kdm login screen, edit /etc/X11/xdm/ to add a last
line
/opt/kde/kdmdesktop
(If you don't do this, the nice RedHat penguin logo will remain
as the background to the kdm login screen)
Thats all!
Yours,

Anybody who's comfortable using KDE should use it. Anyone who wants to
tell other people what they should be using can go to work for Microsoft.
