make install problems with KDE 3.4


Hello alls,
This is my first post on this forum, so lets start off with my first issue. I am trying to install kde 3.4, i am running fedora core 2,(which might be my problem in the first place). So far i have installed aRts first. Next i am installing kdelibs and this is the one i am having trouble with. I am a linux newbie so these errors tend to keep me in a bind when i run into one. Here is the my walk through of what has been done so far.

I am doing all this from source files downloaded from the kde website.When i run ./configure it scrolls for awhile and then ends with 4 short paragraphs explaining what i am missing.
1.) Apple mDNSResponder
2.) libaspell
3.) bzip2 development files
4.) CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System

my first question is; even though i am missing these 4 items, am i still able to move on to "make". If not.. then should i go an grab the rest of the files?

If i am able to move on here is my next problem. The make runs fine, no errors are produced. I run make install, and this is the problem i run into.

make install
if ( test ! -d /usr/bin ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/bin ; fi
if ( test ! -d /usr/lib ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/lib ; fi
if ( test ! -d /usr/man ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/man ; fi
if ( test ! -d /usr/man/man1 ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/man/man1 ; fi
if ( test ! -d /usr/include ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/include ; fi
cp -f bzip2 /usr/bin/bzip2
cp -f bzip2 /usr/bin/bunzip2
cp -f bzip2 /usr/bin/bzcat
cp -f bzip2recover /usr/bin/bzip2recover
chmod a+x /usr/bin/bzip2
chmod a+x /usr/bin/bunzip2
chmod a+x /usr/bin/bzcat
chmod a+x /usr/bin/bzip2recover
cp -f bzip2.1 /usr/man/man1
chmod a+r /usr/man/man1/bzip2.1
cp -f bzlib.h /usr/include
chmod a+r /usr/include/bzlib.h
cp -f libbz2.a /usr/lib
chmod a+r /usr/lib/libbz2.a
cp -f bzgrep /usr/bin/bzgrep
ln /usr/bin/bzgrep /usr/bin/bzegrep
ln /usr/bin/bzgrep /usr/bin/bzfgrep
chmod a+x /usr/bin/bzgrep
cp -f bzmore /usr/bin/bzmore
ln /usr/bin/bzmore /usr/bin/bzless
ln: `/usr/bin/bzless': File exists
make: *** [install] Error 1

what is this error telling me? how can i find more information about it? all help is highly appreciated and i thank all in advance for posting to this thread.

Have you tried konstruct? It is supposed to download / configure / compile / install the whole KDE 3.4 for you automagically. Search for it on google (can't remember the URL off the top of my head) or mail me at spamnot@<removethis>polard.com and I'll mail it to you.

I haven't used it yet, but apparently you just change into one of the directories untarring it will create and then run a makefile to get it to download and install that part of KDE 3.4 for you.
