hello, I'm compiling kde3.4.2 and the configure says that I'm missing two programs, one is mdnsresponder and the other is GSSAPI/Kerberos for debian sarge.
I know there is mdnsresponder for unstable, but I'm not sure if should
I install it, anyone knows where can I get them? if not what affect will the kde have if I'll wont install it?

If there is mdnsresponder in stable, then install it. If there isn't, then you may use the one from unstable. 'Unstable' doesn't really nean your system will crash every ten minutes, but rather, there might be a few small bugs. You can add http://packages.debian.org/stable/ (or /unstable/ or /testing/) to the sources list in aptitude or Synaptic. You can also lock or force a certain version to install.
KDE 3.4 is not in the Debian stable branch, so it's dependancies would not, unless needed by an earlier version or other programs. Either version 3.2 or 3.3 (not sure) is in stable. Why not install an earlier version from Synaptic or Aptitude? There aren't very many differences.
I don't know how it will affect KDE if those packages aren't there, but if it compiles sucessfully, and KDE can start up, you might be able to diagnose the problem (or ignore it) from there.

thanks, for replaying.
stable dont have it so I'll install it from unstable.
I cant install synpatics cause I dont have an graphical interface yet, that (hoping) will be kde 4.3.2 which I'm compiling from source.
the other program I found.

thnaks anyway

aptitude is similar to synaptic, but in text mode.

I know, I tried to compile, arts went on without any problems, kdelibs had a tons of warnings but no errors, kdecore had a segemnted error. so I decided (sadly I must add) to install kde 3.3.2

thanks anyway
