I would like to volunteer to try the Solaris 8 i86 compilation of KDE 2.2.
I admit I am a bit of a newbie to Solaris / Unix, I have only been seriously
using it since January.  I would appreciate it if someone could tell me
where the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables are stored as I
need to edit them to get Xfree86 and KDE to work.  I have looked in .profile
and local.profile, but the PATH entries here do not match that given by
typing set at the command prompt.

Thanks,

Richard.

Ok, I will do that.

I'll do the tarball first, then the package later (if I get around to it).

I'll put them on my own web server, but I have no objections to you having a
mirror
as well.

First question: where did you get audioio.h from? audioiosun.cc wants
sys/audioio.h,
but the only audioio.h file I can find is in the same directory - and
doesn't appear
to be it. No sign of it on a sparc machine either.

I'll continue tomorrow, since I'm hungry  and it's past time to go home.
