[kde-solaris] hello, I need help with kde+solaris9

[Darin Perusich]

this sounds like a packaging problem to me, i'll forward this onto ken 
the kde maintainer for blastwave. he watches this list some i'm sure 
he'll see this.

we'll the good news is that you don't need koffice for kde to work, you 
can installed the packages individually. kde_gcc is a stub package which 
includes all of kde. this will get you a fully working kde minus koffice.

pkg-get -i kde_gcc_dtlogin \
  kdeaccess_gcc \
  kdeaddons_gcc \
  kdeadmin_gcc \
  kdeartwork_gcc \
  kdebase_gcc \
  kdeedu_gcc \
  kdegames_gcc \
  kdegraphics_gcc \
  kdelibs_gcc \
  kdemultimedia_gcc \
  kdenetwork_gcc \
  kdepim_gcc \
  kdetoys_gcc \
  kdeutils_gcc \
  kde_gcc_dtlogin
