Hello,

Did anyone install the latest kde (version 3.4.2) from kde.org yet on
slackware 10.1? I am new to slackware, but not new to linux, so I was
wondering what the best way would be to install it. Is it as simple as
downloading each package and then run pkgtool? Or are there things that
have to be created or changed manually? Would it be better to go for the
kde 3.4.1 from linuxpackages.net instead?

Thanks for any suggestions whatsoever on this

Kris

You can upgrade to slackware-current with swaret.

Thats pretty easy to do in Slackware. Download all packages from the KDE
3.4.2 directory at kde.org to a directory by them-self and then logout.

Login again but not into KDE and as root run this command in the
directory:
'upgradepkg --install-new *.tgz'

Seems to work great, I just used pkgtool though, but since it was a fresh
install I suppose it doesn't make a difference

I only have troubles with the package amarok from linuxpackages.net. I did
install libtunepimp and libmusicbrainz, but still it crashes shortly after
launching...

The only sideeffect is that your having double entries for all KDE
packages in /var/log/packages dunno if that can cause you problems later
on.

I'm pretty sure thats because amaroK from linuxpackages is build
against KDE 3.3.2, but try this command to see if there's some more
dependencies missing: 'ldd `which amarok`'

ln -s /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.7 /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.6

I did have some double entries, in particular for arts, so I removed the older
versions. Thanks for pointing that out.

I was already affraid of that, but somehow I hoped that it wouldn't matter. The

Looks like all the libraries are installed, right? After removing the amarok
package, I installed again, but this time compiled from source. Strangely, it
causes exactly the same crash.

BTW, thanks a lot for your help!

or rsync, read the Changelog, and upgradepkg/installpkg

That's my preferred method. Step two is often important.
