I want to blow the computer to pieces!

I am used to coding in windows, and because I am interested in open souce. So I began to using linux, kde, and so on.
But when I upgrade the kde to v3.3.4, I want to break the computer to piece. I have installed arts with great deal of efforts, and more problems are coming forth when I install kdelibs, which is in my prediction! X(

But I must go on!

The error message is :(My os is RedHat9)

Obviously you need to uninstall some older packages and also install some other newer packages.

I am afraid this is not anyway KDE related (other than the packge to be installed contains KDE stuff) but a distribution specifica question.

Usually distributions have some nice automatic update manager that knows how to deal with the package dependecies.

Even Red "try to be as imcompatible as possible" Hat should already have one.
