I can see 2 things there for now: 1. You have quite an old version of kde installed. Since so much has changed, this is what may be causing the conflicts. 2. The sources / repos you are using also have and old version of kde. (The current version is 3.4.) The kde-redhat repository is probably a better source, more up-to-date and better mantained. (look for http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/) I would suggest you completely uninstall kde, then add the kde-redhat to your sources, then try reinstalling kde. I've never used apt-get, but I believe > yum remove kde [ update the repos to include kde-redhat ] > yum install kde shoud work. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gustavo Seabra Graduate Student Chemistry Dept.
