Karamba questions

Okay, so I installed Karamba .16 (from an RPM I found), then I installed SuperKaramba and I can't find where the darned thing put it...
So I looked for a Karamba .17 RPM, and I found one except it says I need several Perl packages along with it, none of which I listed in my Package Manager (I'm using Mandrake 9.1)... Does anyone know how to a) find SuperKaramba, or b) get Karamba .17 to work in Mandrake 9.1?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi,
the easiest way is to compile it yourself. As most of the themes need alway the latest superkaramba (you only need superkaraba) you will not be very lucky with your "old" Version.
Download the sources. (take a lok at kde-look.org or google) and unzip them.
Then you should make a own direktory where you put all the (super)karamba stuff.
Open a konsole an cd to the directory where the sources are then type:
[code:1]./configure
make
su
make install[/code:1]
If configure tells you that something is missing, then install it from your mdk CD's (eg you will need python and kdebindings etc)
After the make install you have installed superkaramba.
Start it with ALT-F2 -> superkaramba and open the theme you want.
Keep the directory where the sources are. If you want to uninstall it you can do so by typing make uninstall (you have to su first)

Dim

PS: uninstall you karamba/superkaramba rpm's first
