[kde-solaris] Problems with KDE 3.1.2 packages

[Bob Meader]

YES it won't load...

I noticed in prior email you loaded the package to location
other than default /opt/kde. I would not change any binaries
but instead make a soft link pointing that location.
If you wish dt-login to work either use that package
I made for that. I noticed/verified that particular package
fails to load on OS 8 if Sun "recommended patch's" not installed.
The fix is to install the patches (always a good idea) or
use tar file I supplied instead.  The tar file needs to be
untarred at root ie "/" to expand correctly.

I am interested to hear if KDE window manager works OK or not.
Appox 1/2 people report everything OK the other 1/2 report
unable to enter the entire alphabet into an application
such as kconsole.  Note KDE window manager is not in use
until you get dtlogin to work.

I have the same version of libjpeg.so (6.22 ?) in
'/usr/local/lib' that I downloaded from
www.sunfreeware.com, but I believe it is only a 32-bit
version.  Would that cause the problem?  Will
replacing mine with your 64-bit version screw up other
apps?  I will give it a try tomorrow morning & let you
know.

Any ideas about the Hot Keys?  I might be able to live
without the JPeg support, but I NEED my 'Shift-R' for
scrolling through my shells :)
