Is there a way to update the KDE on Redhat8 to Kde 3.2
The FTP sites listed on KDE.org only have stuff for Fedora under Redhat. :x

I dont really wanna upgrade Redhat 8 to Fedora because I installed RedHat8 just to get IBM DB2 running for my assignment

Thanks

I tried installing using the apt-get method because i thought it would take care of the dependencies for me but all i go were errors when i tried to install it.

I also tried updating Qt to the 3.1 but that also gave me some dependancy errors.

I hate all these dependency stuff for rpms - they never end

can anyone help me get KDE 3.2 on my system up and running?

Thanks

when i do "apt-get update" it seems to work fine
spends a lot of time downloading things
but then

How does one go about updating things in linux that requires dependencies?

Okay i downloaded all the rpms in the ftp
how do i go about installing them - that satisfies the dependancies?

because i'm bound to get a.rpm needs b.rpm and b.rpm needs c.rpm but then c.rpm needs a.rpm

then i'm left going in a cycle.

How do i solve these stupid dependencies? Cause YUM and apt were supposed to do that - and so far all they have done so far is waste my time isntead of save me time.

there really needs to be a governing body on how "official" linux stuff goes about doing things like update and crap

:x now its complaining about some plugin for konqueror

WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END!!!!!

apt and yum arent doing much help in resolving and fetching my dependencies

is there a way i can find all the dependencies i'd need
Using a Redhat 8 clean install
And where i can go and hunt these dependencies?

:*( here's what i got

is it normally this hard to update a major component of linux?

Thanks for the all the help
I'll try it again tonight when i get home

The only reason I have an old distro is that IBM DB2 wont work on any newer distro

I give up....
short of your coming over to my house and installing it for me... this thing is never gonna install.

i got stuff in the same package conflicting with each other......
kdebase 3.2.0 conflicts with kdelibs 3.2.0

or something along those lines
i couldnt access konqueror or mozilla after it said that

i'm on windows right now
good ol not always reliable windows coming through this time around....
