KDE libs install gone wrong?

uglydot · 06-19-2003, 07:50 PM

Ok, I have compiled ARTS and Base and installed them fine, then I came to libs. Compiled, installed , and got an error sayind kdeinit couldn't start. Any ideas?

Sounds like you had KDE up and running during the install. You should logout from KDE, CTL-ALT-F1 and login as root, init 3, then compile and install the new KDE stuff, init 5 should then bring up KDE or simply reboot.
Hoping the runlevels in Slackware are same as in SuSE.....Sid.

I did it via the console from w/o kde. I know what I did. I compiled my base before libs. Redoing it now.

I can't see why it should be starting kdeinit (part of the libs package) during install and when you still have quite a few more packages to build and install in order to get a runnable KDE installation. A fragment showing the event leading up to the error could be helpful. I'm still puzzled - you do "make install", it rattles down the screen and then halts with the error?

Ok, I was tired, let me explain myself better. I have a working install, I am replacing packages. I had the Arts and Base done. Went to do libs, and got the error after installing when I tried to startx. We figured that since I did base before libs, it wanted the old libs. So I have started over, the qt tgz, then libs, then base. I have a new problem though. I have done qt, then did libs, which went fine. Now I am trying to do base, the ./configure went fine, but make error swith:

index.docbook:1: validity error: Element acronym is not declared in trademark list of possible children
&RedHat; systems, 3 on &SuSE

Any ideas, I am pretty new to the linux world.
