Is Linux Desktop Better Than Windows? (LinuxPlanet)

There's a golden rule under Mandrake: if at all possible, use a package that has *already* been built and tested for your version. That means setting up an urpmi source (see www.urpmi.org) and running "urpmi klogic". Almost all the packages you could want are already built and in "contrib". This way, things usually work perfectly. If you want the absolute latest version, compiled from source, then use "checkinstall" rather than "make install" - that way, your install doesn't bypass your RPM database, and you can uninstall it easily.
