Re: [kde-linux] Installing KDE in Home Directory

I'd suggest using manually compiling instead, since
it gives you a better
control over what you pass to the configure scripts.
For example if you do
not use any functionalizy which would require
another library, you can just
opt top build without.

Basically the main steps are:

- install Qt or check that the installed Qt is ok
(recent enough, headers
available)

- build and install arts

- build and install kdelibs

-build and install kdebase

Additional packages can be installed in any order.

Dear Kevin,

Thank you for providing these steps and the links ?
at least now I have something to follow. (I am new to
this ? so I might be missing something obvious.)

According to what you have told me I first checked
for QT. In the installed QT (i.e. in /usr/lib ? or
something like that) I noticed that the bin directory
was empty. So I decided to install QT into my home
directory. I think that this went OK, because I got
some executables in the bin directory ? and from the
command line, I did not notice any errors ? at least
it did not crash.

I then installed aRts into my home directory in
~/installed_arts (using the ./configure
?prefix=~/installed_arts ? as you mentioned in your
previous email). I think that this went OK also.

I then downloaded the kdelibs, and tried to install it
into ~/installed_kdelibs (using the ./configure
?prefix=~/installed_ kdelibs). However the configure
script crashes with the error:

Checking for aRts-1.1 ? configure: error aRts 1.1 not
installed in the same prefix as KDE!
Please reinstall aRts in the same prefix as KDE,
different prefixes are not supported right now.

(kdelibs prefix is /home/masca/installed_kdelibs, aRts
prefix is /home/masca/installed_arts)


So what do I do? Do I move installed_arts to
installed_kdelibs ? but I don?t think that would work.
Also if I copy the contents of installed_arts to
installed_kdelibs I may not know later what belongs to
aRts and what to kdelibs.

Let me know whats the correct thing to be done here.

Thanks a lot.
O.O.
