It was probably an old attempt at trying to run KDE Marble Desktop
http://edu.kde.org/marble/
And one of the attempts to try and get the latest version, not only
downloaded... but working too :)
(It asks to install KDE and the entire desktop platform and to compile the
program myself)
.. so i use an older version of it, and it seems fine :)

Nope ...
Through the installation process, i do get this error

And once i startup qgis i get a new entry point error

Anyway, i guess Qgis 1.6 is not designed to work my computer lol.... maybe
version 1.7 will work :)
the older versions are VERY difficult to find, especially the version that
doesn't include all those extra programs that a beginner map maker would
never use. (im sure they are wonderful programs, but just use up space if
they dont get used)
The qgis website does not have any links to the older versions

 And hey, this program version works just fine and no complaint from it :)

cheers,
Sam
