Why not just install from the rpm in the main OSS repo? There is also a
version in the packman repo.

i checked it and the latest version that was there is 3.0.2-22
and for some reason that doesnt wana work on my computer…

#4

Checking webpin it looks like there is a 3.1 package in the KDE:Backport and KDE:unstable repos. You can try one of them and see if they work.

o ok thanks heaps
um i installed the one from Backport and i had the same problem as before…
like, whats happening is when i try and open it, it just opens and closes straight away, i was hopeing that 3.1 will be different…
do you know how to fix that?
