I have kdesupport and kdelibs installed on my box when I try to compile kdebase. I have compiled the Qt libs from scratch using egcs-1.02 and installed them. I don''t know exactly where the problem is. egcs-1.02 is supposed to come with its own copy of libstdc++ but it is not immediately obvious where those libraries are. So am in a rather complex predicament that I don't know how to solve. I need egcs cuz the standard c++ compiler that comes with redhat 5.0 is buggy. However, when I installed egcs now suddenly my old window manager breaks and does not want to work properly even with a recompile. So I am forced toresort to something like fvwm2 which seems to work well but is not very aesthetically pleasing. In an effort to create a functional and attractive desktop I decided to install KDE but now I learn that some packages in KDE wont compile while others do. So right now I am stuck in th hole. In fact this whole affair has become so frustrating that I have considered installing Solaris 2.6 x86 on my box and removing Linux altogether. The ultimtate end of a computer should be to make my work easier and not to create more work for me.
