A few more notes: In order for KDE to find all libraries that it can use, make sure you have the devel packages of all KDE 3.2 dependencies installed. You can find all required/recommended libraries on http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.2.php And if you do ./configure --help you will find that there are many ways to customize the compilation process. Some configure options that I always use are: --disable-debug --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-final Also take care of your compiler flags. For GCC 3.2.x and higher, I found that setting the CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS environment variables to -march=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointers -falign-functions -mmmx -m3dnow -ffast-math -fstrength-reduce -frerun-cse-after-loop -s -fschedule-insns2 before running configure produces really good code on my machine. Of course you need to tune that a bit depending on your hardware. Cheers! Dik ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
