Install of 3.1.1 Goes Bad

[1stFlight]

   On the suse.com site, it tell me that 8.1 shipped with KDe 3.0.3, which 
used qt 3.0, on the Kde.org site it lists as requirements qt 3.1.x.  So, 
using anything else would cause to squirelly errors. 

   For your next error, try opening a terminal window and as root type "xhost 
+localhost" .  Or failing that, type "hostname", usually it's going give back 
"localhost.localdomain", but if you have your machine registered with DNS it 
will gave back something else, then type. 


DISPLAY=hostname:0.0    (where it's whatever the hostname command said it was)
export DISPLAY

Then only thing I'm not sure on is how to make the change permanent , using 
the export command throws me a lot. Best luck.
