thanks

I'm using slackware 8.1
In fact kde3.1 is up and running but only because arts, kdelibs and kdebase were configured and make and make install.
That was quite stright forward, my problem is that when I try to install the other packages like kdenetwork and kdemultimedia.

As I read I should do:

To unpack the *.tar.bz2 files, simply run the following two commands for each package:

#bunzip2 packagename.tar.bz2
#tar xvf packagename.tar

Once they are unpacked, simply enter each directory and run the following commands:

#./configure
#make
#make install


But when I unpack kdenetwork and others there is not a directory form where to run ./configure. Is this normal?

I got my source from the kde page.


Any Ideas? thanks

Er..
Me again, sort it.
The problem was that I didn't download the proper modules ie: kdesk-3.1.tar I had kdesk-3.1-i386-1.tgz

When I decompress the first the folder was created and the ./configure worked.

Thanks
