[toolbox-l] KDE 2.1 on the web but needs workaround to install

[Marc S. <ma...@au...>]

Some of you have noticed that KDE 2.1 has become visible on the web site. 
There was a problem in the KDE 2.1 build and another on the web site
itself which will get in the way of early adopters.

The KDE 2.1 build was performed on an alternate build system which had an
additional symlink for libjpeg visible.  That symlink was present in an
internally available level of libjpeg-6b; unfortunately, that caused KDE
to have a dependency on libjpeg.so, which is not available in libjpeg-6b-2.
We generated a libjpeg-6b-3 to cover that situation, but the website is
still pointing to libjpeg-6b-2.

So, there are a couple of workarounds.
Download and install the new libjpeg-6b-3:
 ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/libjpeg/libjpeg/libjpeg-6b-3.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
 rpm -hUv libjpeg-6b-3.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

OR:
 Generate a link as below and use --nodeps when you install the KDE files.

There's going to be a freeze on the web site content for a while.  We'll 
continue to make new content available on the FTP site, but it will not
be reflected for a while on the web site.
