Alles,
I am very pleased with KDE3.2 on ReHat 9 and would like to move it's location to a permanent location on my system.
Currently it resides in /root/kde3.2 and I have updated my .bashrc with the environment variables pointing to this location as directed in the 3.2 documentation.
Rather than go through a complete rebuild can I simply move everything over and replace my system's KDE 3.1.4 install? I really hate wasting the space on my HD even though I seem to have plenty. Plus I don't intend to use the 3.1.4 stuff anymore anyway.
No, you can't just move the stuff. You need to reconfigure your source tree with the prefix you want (either "/usr" or "/usr/kde3" would be appropriate on a RedHat system) and rebuild and reinstall..
However, this will not recompile anything, it will just relink for the new prefix and it won't take nearly as long.
Also, you will probably want to uninstall 3.1.4 first.
