Hi,

I am using CentOS 4.4. Is there a way to install KDE
into my home directory - without having the root
privileges? I have a virtually unlimited disk space -
but I cannot get the root on this machine (where I
work).

Yes, this should work pretty nicely.
You need to make sure that whatever you compile, you pass the
--prefix
option to configure, for examle

./configure --prefix /home/username/kdeinstall

Then, for running it, you need to make sure a couple of environment variables
are set correctly

PATH needs to point to prefix/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to point to prefix/lib

KDEDIRS needs to point to prefix

Cheers,
Kevin
