Success compiling on Fedora Core 1

[Sikko__man]

Hi All,

I copy that.

I applied the changes posted by Bennett and compilation goes fine! I'm going
to test this configuration later this evening. I have no KDE installed, just
a text-based system, so I can't test the KDE issues for you.

Thanks Bennett!

Best Regards,

Sikko
