a broken header in the kernel.  The broken file is <filename>asm/byteorder.h</filename>, where
a parameter is used, but not defined, when <parameter>-ansi</parameter> is specified.</para>

<title>Configuring kdemultimedia</title>

<para>There is no explicit configuration for the kde multimedia package, 
however Kscd needs to find the CD drive. The default 
is <filename>/dev/cdrom</filename> which may not exist on your system.  The 
easiest way to do this is to create a symbolic link to this from your CD 
drive (e.g. <filename>/dev/hdc</filename>, <filename>/dev/scd0</filename>, 
etc):
<screen><userinput><command>cd /dev &amp;&amp;
ln -s <replaceable>[CD Drive]</replaceable> /dev/cdrom</command></userinput></screen>
