[kde-solaris] package relocation, episode II :-)

[Stefan Teleman]

The easiest way of relocating the libraries which would have been 
installed in /usr/local:

1. find \ 
<absolute-path-of-the-directory-where-the-package-was-relocated> \
-type f -name "*.la" -print > /tmp/relocateFiles
2. edit the script named "relocateUSRLOCAL" (attached) and edit the 
expression >>>> TYPE THE RELOCATED PATH HERE <<<<< between the 
hashes, replacing it with the path to the directory where the 
SUNWkderequired package was relocated (for example, /opt/local-3.1.3 
if you used pkgadd -R /opt/local-3.1.3). Do not remove the hash '#' 
characters in the sed expression.
3. run the script 'relocateUSRLOCAL'

4. find /opt/kde-3.1.3/lib -type f -name "*.la" -print > \ 
/tmp/relocateKDE
5. edit the script named relocateKDE (attached) and edit the 
expression >>>> TYPE THE RELOCATED PATH HERE <<<<< between the hashes 
(#), replacing it with the path to the directory where the 
SUNWkderequired package was relocated (for example, /opt/local-3.1.3 
if you used pkgadd -R /opt/local-3.1.3). Do not remove the hash '#' 
characters in the sed expression.
6. run the script 'relocateKDE'

Make sure the relocated path is in startkde and in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

This should do it.
