using konstruct to install kde3.2 on MDK9.1

apacheark

As usual, your mileage may vary. . . I went ahead and compiled kde 3. 2 on Mandrake 9. 1 using konstruct. I had a braodband connection so, downloading all those tar files didn't take so long for me. Bottom line: It works and works pretty well.

kde 3.2 rpms for mandrake

patroclo7

All the kde 3. 2 rpms for mandrake 9. 2 are at disposal at this FTP address: It's very difficult to compile kde 3. 2. Konstruct returns me ununderstandable recursive compilation errors for kdelibs, and manual compilation fails too, though the configure scripts do not declare amy trouble.

Newbie with a font question

Hi, I am still learning Linux (Mac and Windows are my previous experience). I tried installing the Macromedia Flash player and it is not working. I am guessing it is because of this: Quote:Device fonts require outline fonts to be installed.
