Hi, I'm trying to install KDE 3.2.2 on a fresh install of RH 9 with 3.1.4 I have downloaded all of the packages and I still get dependency errors.
With RPM I get the following results:
[root@ircx2 kde-3.2.2]# rpm --install --oldpackage *.rpm
warning: db4-4.1.25-14.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
warning: package db4 = 4.0.14-20 was already added, replacing with db4 <= 4.1.25-14
warning: redhat-menus-0.40-1asp.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9b3c94f4
error: Failed dependencies:

[root@ircx2 kde-3.2.2]#
All of the "needed" packages are in /kde.3.2.2 I downloaded them straight from KDE
I also downloaded the required packages from rpmfind. Is there any easy way to install
the newest version of KDE?? I'd even settle for 3.2.0!
I have tried Fedora Core 1.91 packaged with KDE 3.2 and it wail not boot on this machine.
Is there any solution to installing it on my present RH9 install?
What problems if any will arise if I just force install everything?.
The "Kitchen Sink" approach will almost ALWAYS get you in trouble. The more unneeded packages you try to install, the more dependency issues you will have.
But, you have other specific problems.
I recommend that for starters that you only Upgrade to one version of db4:
db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm db4-4.1.25-14.i386.rpm
The newer one is probably the correct choice. If you need both of them, then you will need to first Upgrade with the older one and then INSTALL the newer one with the: "--replacefiles" option. You can NOT upgrade with two different versions of the same package.
And that you Upgrade to the required version 3.3.1 of Qt:
qt-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm qt-devel-3.1.1-6.i386.rpm
These are NOT 3.3.1!!!! Where did you get them?
You also have a lot of development packages. Do you normally build KDE applications from source? Do you do Qt development? Do you write KDE programs with languages other than C/C++. Specifically, do you write Python programs that use KDE widgets?
If NOT, then you probably need ONLY these, and whatever RedHat dependencies are needed to support them:
arts-1.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdemultimedia-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdenetwork-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdepim-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdetoys-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdeutils-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm qt-3.3.1-0.2.i386.rpm quanta-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdeaccessibility-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdeaddons-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdeadmin-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdeartwork-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdeartwork-icons-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdebase-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdeedu-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdegames-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdegraphics-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm kdelibs-3.2.2-0.1.i386.rpm
If you have older versions of other KDE packages, you may need to uninstall them.
You probably will need some of this junk, and probably some other stuff:
libieee1284-0.2.8-1.i386.rpm
libmusicbrainz-2.0.2-5.i386.rpm
libxml2-2.6.6-3.i386.rpm
lm_sensors-2.8.1-1.i386.rpm
redhat-artwork-0.93-1.i386.rpm
redhat-menus-0.40-1asp.noarch.rpm
sip-3.10-0.1.i386.rpm
taglib-1.0-0.1.i386.rpm
wireless-tools-26-1.i386.rpm
db4-4.1.25-14.i386.rpm
