[vox-tech] kde upgrade wrecked gnome

[Bruce Wolk]

I tried to upgrade to kde 3.2 on a redhat 9.0 system.  I followed the 
instructions on the kde site and used apt-get and the kde-redhat.org 
repository.  KDE seems to be functioning, but now Gnome is inaccessible 
and my old software, like mozilla and firebird, won't run.

When I run apt-get check I get:

root@pogo bruce]# apt-get check

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   kdeaddons: Depends: libgdk-1.2.so.0
              Depends: libgtk-1.2.so.0
              Depends: libxmms.so.1
   kdebase: Depends: redhat-artwork (>= 0.49) but it is not installed
   kdebindings: Depends: libgdk-1.2.so.0
                Depends: libgtk-1.2.so.0
                Depends: libgtkembedmoz.so
   kdelibs: Depends: redhat-artwork (>= 0.53) but it is not installed
   mozilla-devel: Depends: mozilla (= 37:1.4.2-0.9.0) but it is not 
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

When I try -f, I get:

When I try to run mozilla or firefox I get:

[bruce@pogo mozilla-1.4]$ ./mozilla
./mozilla-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[bruce@pogo firefox]$ ./firefox
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: 
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

Obviously these libraries used to be there.  Why would kde remove them?

If I try to run "apt-get install gtk+" to load the gtk libraries, I get 
a bunch of dependancy errors as well.  I thought apt was supposed to 
eliminate the dependancy hell, but obviously not.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
