Package: kdebase
Version: 1.1.2

I downloaded kde 1.1.2 (tar.gz source version) and tried to install it.
I already have kde 1.1 installed on my machine, along with Qt 1.42.  I
first untarred the kdebase-1.1.2.tar.gz file in /usr/local/kde.1.1.2.
Then, I moved my old /usr/local/kde in /usr/local/kde.1.1 and my old
/usr/local/qt in /usr/local/qt.1.42.  Then I created two symlinks
(/usr/local/kde -> /usr/local/kde.1.1 and /usr/local/qt ->
/usr/local/qt.1.42) to make sure I can come back to my old config if the
installation fails.

I tested this setup and, since it worked fine, I removed the symlinks
and created new ones that pointed the the new versions of kde and qt
(/usr/local/kde now -> /usr/local/kde.1.1.2 and /usr/local/qt now ->
/usr/local/qt.1.44).  Then, I typed cd /usr/local/kde/kdebase-1.1.2.
Then, configure --with-shadow (I have shadow passwords indeed...).
Everything went OK up to that point.  Finally, I typed make.  I had an
error concerning a function called updwtmp that was not found.  So I
submitted a bug and Harri Porten told me to comment those calls which
were for compatibility only.  Following Harri's advice, I commented the
faulty lines and I compiled again.  I had the following:

I mentionned this to Harri and he told me that he didn't know the
solution and to comment out kdm in the make file.  The problem is that I
need kdm since I want it as my display manager.  What can I do to solve
the problem?

All the kde 1.1.2 packages installed fine in that configuration except
for kdebase.  Seeing the problem, I restored the symlinks to their
original state and here I am...

My machine is a Pentium 233 MMX with 64 Mb RAM.  OS is Linux Slackware
3.5, with a 2.2.10 kernel.

Thanks for your help.
