Hi, I met the same problem about the openparts.idl. I have installed kdelibs-1.1.1-1.alpha.rpm, which I believe is the latest for alpha. So which version of kdelibs should I install? Thanks. sincerely yours Xiaozhou Qiu http://www.iol.unh.edu/linux/alpha Linux Consorsium Interoperability Lab University of New Hampshire Durham, NH 03824 (603)862-1908
