KDE 3.1 on OSX
I would like to get KDE on Osx under X11
Example: http://ultra.litpixel.com:83/graphic..._konqueror.jpg
I am Linux/Unix Noob
I would appreciate if anyone can make me a walkthrough on how to get KDE, compiling it, installing it, and running it under X11
Thanks

After installing fink pop open a terminal and type without quotes:
"cd /sw/bin" --Return
"sudo ./fink install apt"
That will compile apt-get, the debian package manager
Finially when thats done type in one of hte last commands you will need:
"sudo ./apt-get install bundle-kde-ssl"
That will install KDE and 166 apps for it.
Good luck.
Welcome to Darwin!

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.

(I tried this under root as well) it seems that I dont have any Packages to install. I installed Fink 0.5.2
sudo ./fink install apt-get Return
Enter Password
sudo ./apt-get install bundle-kde-ssl Return
Then there's something you have to add to (*I think*) either init.sh or init.csh (in the folder /sw/bin/ ) so that X11 starts KDE when you start it. I think that the top part should at least work ok, I'm sorry if not, I haven't slept in like 3 days and have barely any idea of what I'm trying to remember.
this is what it says: #1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.

I need sleep badly, I wish you luck.
source /sw/bin/init.csh;
if you're running bash, sh, ksh or similars, then add this to your .profile (in your home folder, or make a new file):
. /sw/bin/init.sh;
(if your not sure what your running, type 'echo $SHELL' [no quotes] in a terminal and try to decipher the output.)
now kill your terminal window, and open a fresh one. now you won't need to cd anywhere. apt-get is automaticaly installed with fink, so you dont have to manually install it. and the message that you received about respecting privacy and shit, was from 'sudo'. whenever you use 'sudo' before a command, it executes the command as the super-user, and if you've never done that before, it warns you. the password you entered was for sudo.
now, to install kde, you have a couple of options. you can use fink (which will download source code, and compile it on your computer [which takes a while..possibly days depending on your computer.. for a full kde bundle]), or you can apt-get it. apt-get will not get source code, it will get precompiled binaries, so it's a lot quicker. the syntax for the commands is very similar:
sudo fink install bundle-kde
sudo apt-get install bundle-kde
note: pick one of the commands, not both.
you can also use bundle-kde-ssl instead, if you want secure-socket-layer versions of relevant network libraries. personally, i always get from source, because i like to get the latest and least tested versions, so i only use fink, but apt-get will probably do what you need it to do. you may get a question about installing dependancies, answer yes.
if you get any errors, report back.

ok, first off, with fink, you dont have to, and i dont think you should really, cd into /sw/bin. running a program should never require you to be in a certain directory. second, fink requires (i'm pretty sure) that /sw/bin be in your path, so cd'ing in there is sort of a extra step. so, if your running tcsh (the macosx default), add this line to your .tcshrc (located in your home folder, create a new one if not present):
source /sw/bin/init.csh;
if you're running bash, sh, ksh or similars, then add this to your .profile (in your home folder, or make a new file):
. /sw/bin/init.sh;
ok, dude I dont even undertstand what you wrote^
could you just explain how to Cd, and adding lines to tcsh

I am just wondering my folder "sw" in my HD is like 768mgs is that normal? or do I have other junk in there?
I am also wondering can I dellete Fink and all of its components b/c I am not going to be installing anymore packages

no.
Fink is the package manager, used to install, UPDATE, DELETE packages. If you've installed anything using fink, you shouldn't delete it.
Fink itself doesn't use a lot of disk space, the installed packages do.
