Yeah, I'm installing as root but I'm installing it to /opt/kde3.1 so 
this is kind of necessary. Unless there are issues with installing as 
root period?

I found the instructions that you're talking about and that's what 
sparked me to build it. I'm pretty sure I had all the libs 
installed...including libqt which is the error I get. I have 2 libqt_mt 
libs at this point. One in /usr/lib/ and one in /opt/kde3.1/lib and the 
arts compile doesn't seem to find either of them.

I've tried manually compiling the arts package in the 
konstruct/kde/lib/art dir and adding 
--with-[qt|qt-includes|qt-libraries] and pointing the configure script 
to the libs, but that doesn't seem to work either.

I'm also having a weird issue with garnome and gnome2 ...I get some odd 
errors about setting the hostname once (mine is apparently trying to do 
it twice??)

anyway, for now, I'll stick with Gnome 1.4 as that's pretty 
solid...unless someone has tips/tricks/pointers to get me going again.

Thanks
