I've downloaded caitoo, i click the file, a .rpm file?, kpackage opens, i try to install it and i get the following:
error: failed dependencies:
qt >= 1.42 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk
libkdecore.so.2 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk
libkdeui.so.2 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk
libkfile.so.2 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk
libkfm.so.2 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk
libmediatool.so.2 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk
libqt.so.1 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by caitoo-0.6.6-1mdk

hmm I hate rpms anyway :/
you could go to the console and type something like rpm -ivh --nodeps /path/to/the/caitoo/rpm. It's generally a good idea to have the latest Qt though. It's a toolkit/widgetset that helps you do graphics stuff. KDE uses it a lot.
or type man rpm to learn more
*waits for someone to now say "all unix sucks ass because whoever made the caitoo rpm compiled statically" or something*

hehe get an apple then
remember: "linux" is a large collection of programs and a funky kernel. people have been trying to tame it for ages, and are only now managing to really work out the kinks. it's made by millions of coders all over the world and is exploding in a thousand directions at once. the learning-curve will be steep, especially because the average person has been using something like windows for *ages* and has become so used to it that they've forgotten how hard it was to do at first.
I'd say just keep at it dude. Try and learn the "easy" ways of doing stuff, use the internet to help you solve your problems. There's always someone who's been there before, and remembered to write down what they did

well, a dependency in this case is an application or lib that the app you're installing has been linked against (or maybe not, it's a bit flexable heh). for example, your caitoo wants Qt with a version greater than or equal to 1.42 because caitoo uses certain functions that are only available in that version or above.
Qt is a toolkit that you can get from trolltech. check freshmeat.net
all those libk* thingys are libs that kde uses. you *may* have to upgrade. libqt* comes with Qt (heh).
libstdc++ isn't libs-tdc but lib standard c (or something heh) that's a bit of a bitch to upgrade I guess, because it means you'll have to upgrade or recompile all the apps in your system that have been linked against it. or you can cheat. cheat? aye, create a symlink with the correct name to the older file. warning: tdc says do not do this. seriously

Installing qt at the mo, itll take me all day but never mind

If I am online, I'm in #wij on quakenet. It's a good idea to join a unix/linux help channel though.

I've always found #linux.uk very hepful. I think thats just because Shocko is onlne there a lot and I just hassle him.
Thats when I don't PM Andeh here...though he'll kill me if you all do that.
So wait the end of April, so he isn't in Scotland and able to catch me.

Trying to install qt free, after unpacking, i switch to the directory and try to run ./configure, it asks if i agree, to which i type yes.
Then i get this:
Creating qmake. Please wait...
/bin/sh: line 1: g++: command not found
gmake: *** [msvc_objectmodel.dep] Error 127
qmake failed to build. Aborting.
Help?!

two things at this point in the morning:
a) are you root when doing the configure/make/make install run?
b) do you have a compiler installed? type something like gcc --version in a console to test for it. it may not be in your path, so you could also do find / |grep gcc
**caffeine level depleted**
