hello,

I am having trouble with kde4 and was wondering if anyone was able to help me... most of the packages require QTCrypto which I dont have apparently. also I dont have the lastest soprano version. I have kdesupport-4.1.85 but I cannot find kdesupport-4.1.96.

At first I had kde 3.5 installed while trying kde4 and unless I installed wrong which I simply downloaded the sources from kde.org build and compiled them. I didn't see kde4 as an option on GDM. I only saw kde3.5. when I started that, both kde3.5 and kde4 taskbar (bottom) bar loaded and came up. so I uninstalled kde3.5 and its no longer showing kde3.5 in the menu. but still doesnt show kde4. I can go to failsafe terminal and run startkde as normal user and it loads up but... when you hit start (Big K on lower Left) its completely blank and all you see is a rectangular empty box. I probably did something wrong. Only ones that doesn't compile are kdebase-runtime, kdepim, kdenetwork, kdegraphics, kdegames and kdebindings I tried stable 4.1 and right now on 4.1.96. also, kdebase-runtime would not compile unless I disabled multimedia. if its enabled I get his error:

kdegames give me this error:

thank you for your help!!

I will continue to try and find and fix some these errors and will post accordingly

You appear to have mixed KDE 3.5 and KDE 4 together. Once you have uninstalled KDE 3.5 ( your post says you have, make sure ) then reinstall KDE 4, so that it can install everything correctly. Do not try and install KDE 3.5 once you have done this.
