Hi, i am running SuSE 9.1 Professional and i want to upgrade to KDE 3.3, since there are soo many options to download, binary, packages, source code, i get lost in what to do..

What do i get exactly for upgrading, rather than installing fresh

ok, i get to the

ftp://mirrors.midco.net/pub/kde/stab...SuSE/ix86/9.1/

and all i see is a bunch of rpms... do i install each and every one?

is there a fast way to isntall them?

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

so im guessing i download each and everyone correct?

how would i downlaod them all quickly, i hate clicking on individual links

hmm when i type that rpm command in i get

user379:/home/mark/downloads/KDE # rpm -Uvh *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glib2-devel is needed by arts-devel-1.3.1-3

hmm ok i'm downloading all the depedancies but i can't find

cvs is needed by kdesdk3-3.3.1-3

and some of the packages(like 2 or 3) were *.noarch*

is that fine even if i use suse?

Hello

I was browsing the suse download section, they have KDE 3.3 packages avaliable to download for 9.1 now. There are still quite a bit of packages to download but it is more organized than the link you posted. Perhaps it will help.

good luck

hmm,, ok heres my new problem, when i try and install them look what i get

ark@user379:~/downloads/KDE> ls
arts-gmcop.rpm kdebase3-kdm.rpm kdebase3-samba.rpm qt3.rpm
arts.rpm kdebase3-ksysguardd.rpm kdelibs3-doc.rpm taglib.rpm
kde3-i18n-en_GB.rpm kdebase3-nsplugin.rpm kdelibs3.rpm
kdebase3-extra.rpm kdebase3.rpm libart_lgpl.rpm
mark@user379:~/downloads/KDE> rpm -Uvh *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

qt3 = 3.3.1 is needed by (installed) qt3-devel-3.3.1-33
mark@user379:~/downloads/KDE>



also when i try to install them one at a time i get like 50 conflicts

i tried installing through my user and root

Have you tried just installing the rpms through YAST instead of konsole? I installed KDE 3.3 through yast the other day and had no problems other than for some dependencies which i found through this linuxforum thread - http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/viewtopic.php?p=89984. You might run into these as well:

ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux....7-28.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux....0-71.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux...0-1.5.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux...-38.4.i586.rpm

ya i tried but if iwant to do it one at a time it gives me errors such as i have to uninstall most of my kde programs..
is that normal?

Does the error say something like

needs libjack.so.0
resolve confict by
.... uninstall prog
....

something like that right?

It just means you have to install say 'libjack.so.0' first. The errors will eventually go away once you have installed the other rpms needed first. I had the same problem. Obviously don't uninstall the progs to resolve the conflicts. Just note the needed dependency and cancel out and install those first. Install the base packages but save the kdelibs3 and kdebase3 for last.

For the dependencies errors you might run into like libsndfile, libjack, libjasper, libaspell, just follow the links I posted previously. The install will work.

Good luck.
