Hi,
Building KDELibs 4 for Kwallet is as embarrassing as building GNOME
Keyring if not more. Even worse, KDE's installation guides are like
puzzle books. I have to think about tring a binary distribution of
Subversion with GNOME Keyring support. My system is the Cray Linux
Environment (CLE) which is based SuSE Linux. I wonder if the openSUSE
build may work on the system. Another trouble is that I don't have root
access unable to do RPM installation. Is there a non-RPM binary package
that I can unpack in a non-root user directory?
Thanks,
Yudong
