How to get KDE 3.2 on Red Hat 9?

Red Hat newbie here...

How can I get KDE 3.2 installed on my Red Hat 9 system?

- build from sources? with Konfigure?
- use the SuSe binary RPMs? Will they work?
- wait and hope for Red Hat binaries?

Thanks in advance for directions :)

Use apt :)

Thank you, but I don't believe this answers my question of what to install.

There are certainly no KDE packages on the freshrpms site.

Thank you, but the above source does not have KDE 3.2 available as yet.

I got the Fedora packages and tried to install them but found they depend on later versions of two system libraries (libsensors.so.2 was one, the other was libsmbclient I think).

I take this to mean I should wait for Red Hat 9 packages or build from source. (?)

I've got redhat-9.0 machine here.. installed the fedora rpms of kde-3.2 this morning, sans problems :)

I think ksim might need lm_sensors and samba is needed for some LAN related tools (I had installed them earlier), but the dependencies are resolvable. If after the fedora rpms are asking for something, get the respective rpms and install them along with kde. If you are a relatively new to these things, then here are a few places to look for rpms (look for fedora/redhat rpms):

rpm.pbone.net
freshrpms.net
rpmseek.com

Thanks again for keeping up with this thread. The only source I found for libsensors.so.2 was in a Mandrake package; I couldn't even tell what processor it was for. It seemed a bit of a stretch to throw it at my Red Hat i686 system.

I am shure you don't must use SuSE. There directory layout is different
as RedHat and also customized for SuSE.
Building from sources hould be the best I think if you can not wait for the
RedHat release wich should be the best intergrated with your version of RH.

OK, I'm about to give up. I went to kde-redhat.sourceforge.net and updated my repository list just like it said. After that, I ran Synaptic and I updated 105 packages. I am still running KDE 3.1.5, though, and can't seem to get it to recognize KDE 3.2.

I did, a couple days ago, download all the KDE 3.2 RPMs but, when I try install them, I get dependency errors. I thought the use of apt or synaptic would help me but, as I said, it won't see the 3.2 rpms.

ANy help you can give me is very appreciated. I just want to update to KDE 3.2 and, not surprisingly, I'm a newbie...

OK, here's my sources.list file from /etc/apt

# repositories added after reading sourceforge information
rpm ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/ fedora/9 stable
rpm ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/ fedora/all stable
rpm ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/ kde-redhat/9 stable
rpm ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/ kde-redhat/all stable

The last four repositories were added from Synaptic, then I added the comment and cleaned up the file. As far as I can see, I have everything listed at Sourceforge but, for some reason, it doesn't find KDE 3.2.

Should I add some more repositories?

Thanks for all the help so far. I may not have been able to update KDE 3.2 but I WAS able to get a lot more updates after adding these repositories.
