Installing KDE on CentOS
I lost the forums In this site, while upgrading my server, but since this post is really visited, I am going to recreate it here:
Here is the draft version, later I will make a better one.
Installing KDE 4 on Centos
This is an unfinished work, as until now I could have not been able to install (compile) KDE 4 on Centos 5, I will post here the steps I already did, and the error I have found, If someone can continue with the job please post below on this thread, I will also still continue trying.
I will post step by step what I did, first install a basic Centos5, with Gnome, and not KDE (as we are supposed to compile it later)
Code:
yum install xorg-x11-proto-devel
To solve error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
Code:
yum install libXext-devel
to solve /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
Code:
yum install glib-devel
Code:
yum install giflib-devel
Code:
yum install openssl-devel
Installing cmake
Code:
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.4/cmake-2.4.7.tar.gz

cd [qt_directory]
./configure -nomake examples -nomake demos -qt-gif -no-exceptions -debug -qt3support -qdbus
gmake
gmake install
PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.3/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Installing KDE support
As I have not found a .tar.gz for this, I had to use svn and followed the KDE instructions, to build it.
be sure to read this: Environmental variables to build KDE
Installing Clucene
Code:
wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/clucene/clucene-core-0.9.20.t...

=================== Solution from another user =====================================
This is how I installed it from a minimum CentOS 5.2 install. There were some problems, read the comments below if something fails.
If you have KDE 3 installed, uninstall it first because I will install everything in /usr. If it's not uninstalled you may get some weird problems when you run KDE 4.
Install CentOS 5.2, unticking everything so you install the minimum crap
possible.
I assume you'll be root all the time, but you usually only need to be root
when installing the apps or running yum, not when compiling.
