kde3 redhat install

[daniel]

well i tried to install kde3 on my redhat box and it didn't work.  so i'm
posting my not-so-impressive progress here in hopes of someone enlightening
me:

acording the readme file, i'm supposed to do this in the dir that i
downloaded all the rpms to:

 cd /where/you/downloaded/the/KDE3/RPMS
 rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde`
 rpm -Uvh *rpm

what exactly does this mean?
anyway, this is what happened when i typed rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde`:

[root at hephaestus kde]# rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde`
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
        libDCOP.so.1   is needed by kdbg-1.2.1-5
        libkdecore.so.3   is needed by kdbg-1.2.1-5
        libkdesu.so.1   is needed by kdbg-1.2.1-5
        libkdeui.so.3   is needed by kdbg-1.2.1-5

        libkssl.so.2   is needed by kdbg-1.2.1-5
        libksycoca.so.3   is needed by kdbg-1.2.1-5

knowing full well that that didn't work, i thought "what the hell" and did
the next step anyway.  this of course didn't work either but did spew out
the following:

[root at hephaestus kde]# rpm -Uvh *rpm

        libpq.so.2   is needed by qt-PostgreSQL-3.0.3-5

  pentium 125mhz
