A small update on the kde package. I had to foll a bit with the code,
probably did something that will prevent it from working...
Firstly, I had ld break on me with a message that only xxx objects were
written to the output file, whereas there should have been yyy, with xxx
and yyy different for each subdir. removing the -lc flag from ld stopped
this error. Does this mean that I'm not linking in the C libraries? That
would produce non-functional code, wouldn't it?
Secondly, a while later, c++ died after reporting that the virtual
memory was saturated. Is there any way I can change this? is it supposed
to happen? this is an LC III with 36 MB RAM, 64 MB swap. Does the c++
compiler saturate 100 MB of memory? not likely. 
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
