     Why don't you use the KDE port (in /usr/ports/graphics/kde if I 
     remember ...) ?
     
     I compiled KDE last week-end from the port and all went **very** fine 
     (execpt kde multimedia, but this seems broken ...)
     
        TfH.

Hey Everyone, I'm back again..........
     
I finally got the correct files for KDE and unTARred them in the 
directories, the files that someone suggested I download was the Source so I 
downloaded the Source and got the stuff unTarballed as I said a minute ago 
an then I found I need a package called QT so I toddle down to www.troll.no 
and downloaded the free QT-1.33 package and installed it, sounds good so far 
doesn't it ?? Wrong........
     
When I install the QT Package and type make in the directory it's in at 
chuggs happily along for a few seconds and then gives up with some Errors 
like it can't find files like qarray.h or somethin, the files are there 
usually in ./src/widgets or whatever, i've tried putting these into the path 
variable but that doesn't help, I've tried following the instructions in 
ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt/source/INSTALL which also gives up on the MAKE thing.
     
I thought I could be intelligent and try instal the KDE with the SOURCE of 
QT and not the BINARIES, dumb idea, it doesn't work, when I run ./configure 
from the KDEbase dir if gives up and says that I don't have the QT headers 
and includes needed, when I try ./configure --with-qt-dir it gets further 
and tells me to try again with another prefix, can anyone help, all I want 
is to get the god-damned KDE so I can replace my boring old Window Manager 
(wm2 BTW).
     
Also, when I try to unTarball the KDESUPPORT file it keep telling me that it 
can't create files and give wacky errors like 'can't create 
kdesupport/makefile.am no a directory' and crap like that, when I then try 
mkdir ./kdesupport or mkdir kdesupport or mkdir /fat16/kde/kdesupport {that's 
the full path} it gives an error saying can't create, file already 
exists........
     
Come on you so-called FreeBSD geniuses, prove yourself....... Get your 
brains in gear......
