why is it so difficult to get kde 3.2 beta installed?
 

i have been trying over and over to install kde 3.2, well, apt won't install it, when i download the packages i keep getting dependencies probs that are just insane. I found a redhat 9 apt source (i have fedora core) when i try to upgrade it won't allow it, nothing is selected for install after i have just selected it. I have been posting questions a lot on this subject, but nobody has any ideas on how to fix it. I have been all over the web, and nothing. I take it kde 3.2 is impossible to install and no one has it

did you try the offical packages ?
goto http://download.kde.org/download.php...stable/3.1.94/
I've got it ^^ If the RPM's don't work....do the same as I did ...use the source luke =)
btw: it's awesome ....

yes, i have tried to download the packages a couple of times and get

[root@localhost ]# rpm -Uvh kdelibs-3.1.94-0.2.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
arts >= 8:1.1.94 is needed by kdelibs-3.1.94-0.2
qt >= 1:3.2.2 is needed by kdelibs-3.1.94-0.2
libvcard.so.0 is needed by (installed) quanta-3.1.4-1
libvcard.so.0 is needed by (installed) kdebase-3.1.4-4
libvcard.so.0 is needed by (installed) kdenetwork-3.1.4-1

and this is never ending, it goes on and on

Try using Konstruct to build it:

It's safer than overwriting the old KDE anyway. :)
