Hi
I was playing with visual style I have installed some splash that needed moodin plug-in, so I went to their site downloaded an try to install ./configure went ok, but make and make install give me some errors… something that was not able to install, but I was surprised when I saw in splash new theme. I have tried it but than went all wrong.
Now when I logging to my kde 3.5.3 than near my and root login there are a lot of others, like shutdown, gui,…
When I tried to typed uname and pass it successfully log in, but than all screen become blue and in left corner there is shall console so I have to write #start-kde to see kde environment.
What I have done wrong????
Please help

Well, probably the installation went wrong. Depending on what it exactly was, it could be anything

1) don't run make unless configure is successful (you probably even can't run make, or at least it won't finish in this case).

2) even if you could run configure, or nevertheless ran make; if make doesn't finish successfully = without errors, do not run make install. Actually the install step depends on the makefile, but it's pretty common. Make step creates the binaries. Make install step then copies the compiled binaries and other needed files in place in your system -- you don't want to do this if the compilation went wrong.

I'd start off by removing the compiled software. If it supports an uninstall-makerule, try doing this in the source directory:
if it doesn't work, then you'll just have to hunt the files manually. After it try to re-compile it, and this time make it right; if an error is produced, you will want to know why it was produced, then fix it and only then go on.

On Windows you might just go ahead and ram against the wall installing anything you like, and the same goes for most binaries, but whenever you're dealing with source code, remember that it's not "usable" before it is successfully compiled; installing unusable software is pretty stupid. In my opinion you shouldn't be able to run make install unless the previous make step produced zero errors, but that's up to the developer and in some cases it's impossible or very difficult to implement.

Try to stick with binary installations if you can, and if you need to compile something, do it well. Don't hurry, it's not going to help anybody.
