redhat 9 -> kde3.2 - dallas - 2004-07-19
Hi all...
Just want to write down my experience in upgrading my redhat 9 machine into a pretty kde3.2 machine :)
First of all my redhat 9 box is a standard rpm installation with no (significant) tarballs installed. It apt-gets it's rpms from freshrpms and the dag wieers collection. It's pretty much up2date.
The kde3.2 rpms I used were from [/url][url=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/9/RPMS.stable/]ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/9/RPMS.stable/
I am going to do this at home soon too, probably with the unstable ones.. just to push my luck ;)
redhat 9 needs a lot more rpms than is provided by kde-redhat.org. so off i went using rpm.pbone.net to upgrade and/or install other things. here's a list of pre-installation rpms I used.
hicolor-icon-theme-0.3-0.fdr.0.noarch.rpm libasound2-1.0.5-0_14.rh9.at.i386.rpm mathml-fonts-1.0-0.fdr.14.noarch.rpm jasper-1.701.0-0.fdr.2.rh90.i386.rpm libgsf-1.8.2-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm samba-2.2.8-1.i386.rpm lcms-1.12-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm libgsf-devel-1.8.2-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm themer-1.50-0.fdr.0.noarch.rpm
These are all kde-redhat.org except libasound, provided by atrpms.net; samba by samba.org and the mathml are straight from fedora.
Next install QT.
gtk-qt-engine-0.3-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm qt2-designer-2.3.2-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm qt2-static-2.3.2-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm qt2-2.3.2-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm qt2-devel-2.3.2-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm qt2-Xt-2.3.2-0.fdr.0.rh90.i386.rpm
(all of these were from kde-redhat.org)
Next libxml and libxslt
libxml2-2.6.9-0.99_10.rh9.at.i386.rpm libxml2-python-2.6.9-0.99_10.rh9.at.i386.rpm
libxml2-devel-2.6.9-0.99_10.rh9.at.i386.rpm
libxslt1-1.1.7-2_5.rh9.at.i386.rpm libxslt-devel-1.1.7-2_5.rh9.at.i386.rpm
libxslt-1.1.7-2_5.rh9.at.i386.rpm libxslt-python-1.1.7-2_5.rh9.at.i386.rpm
(these by atrpms.net)
Now onto kdecore. this is a lot :/

If you were to drop koffice, you could also skip upgrading ghostscript, imagemagick, aspell, pspell and wv2. keeping koffice proved to be a real bitch :/
All these rpms by kde-redhat.org except aspell/pspell by ximian, redhat-* come from fedora afaik.
Then your installation should break. ld.so.conf does not get told there are new qt libraries, so add in /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib and your apps (kdeinit) should find that. after that things are all fine.
a quick reboot will make kdm DoS your cpu. I have no idea why but it does not like new qt libraries.

you should install these as it makes things all pretty. don't forget nuvola icons!!!! a must for kde3.2!!! things to watch out for are kdepim/kmail being buggy pieces of shit (im staying with evolution for now) and all gtk apps look so weird. I haven't upgraded this box to the new mozilla 1.6/galeon that apt has on offer. i like the old galeon 1.2.13
I have yet to install kdemultimedia and openoffice.org
they`re conflicting with so much shit and I'm lazy.
All in all this effort was a big pain in the ass but it's worth it, because now i can edit python in kdevelop3 !!!!! :)
anybody else who wants kde3.2 should upgrade to fedora2.
da!!as
