Subject: KDE installation on Debian 2.0

 Hi,
 
 I am actually trying to install the KDE package from the files I
downloaded from www.kde.org.

Following the KDE installation instructions, I got the Qt1g library from
www.troll.no/dl and compiled them in /usr/local/qt/lib.
(this is Qt1g 1.41).
 
 The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /usr/local/qt/lib in my .bash_profile
(.profile is not used) as told by Qt installation instructions.

 When unpacking kdebase(after unpacking kdesupport and kdelibs) with 'dpkg
-i kdebase.....exe', I get a system
 message saying 'Package qt1g is not installed'.
  
 With 'dpkg --i --debug=400 kdebase.....exe', all depencies are found but
Qt library.
 
 Where is dpkg looking when trying to solve dependencies?
 
 Am I supposed to copy the Qt library files in other directory or did I
miss something?

If /etc/ld.so.conf is modified to look at /usr/local/qt/lib when running
/sbin/ldconfig, the problem remains.
I am still not able to unpack and configure kdebase.

 Hoping anybody can help me to solve that problem out, if not can you
please tell me who I can contact about my dependency problem?
 
Thanks a lot,

By the way,is there a package to install printers (HP Laserjet) such as
'admintool' (Sun) or lpadmin or printtool (RedHat 5.2) provided with Debian
2.0 or should I play along with with the printcap file?

Lionel

Debian unlike RH doesn't use file dependeny, but only packages
dependencies. So to install KDE packages, you'll first need to install the
qt package.

This can be done automatically nowadays with apt. Check the KDE web site
for information on where to find the latest .debs.

Cheers,
