k3b+kde3.2+kernel2.6 working
 

Saw a few posts with people having probs with k3b under kde3.2

I installed k3b-0.11.5 from linuxpackages.net
Would'nt run without libfam.so which appeared to not be installed
Went to oss.sgi.com
and grabbed *ftp*://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/download/fam-2.6.10.tar.gz

uncompressed and did the usual ./configure
make
make install (as root)

voila k3b up and running...hope this helps someone!
