Installation Tip:
=================

In order for KMess to work properly, it must be configured with
your KDE3 directory.  In order to do this using Mandrake 8.2, for
instance, configure with:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3

I'm told that with RedHat 7.2 and kde3 installed from rpms, it should be

./configure --prefix=/usr

Basically, we're talking about the parent directory of /share/apps/k~bunch of kapps~

Not doing this will result in emoticons being displayed as black
boxes.  Then type

make

and then, as root, type

make install

That's it.

If configure tells you you're missing something that you think you
have installed on your system, you probably need to install the
"devel" version of that thing.  i.e. If it tells you you're missing
libfam, install the libfam-devel rpm.
