MDK9.1 + KDE + KGPG

Beginner

Friday, May 9th 2003, 2:18am

I'm trying to install the Kgpg front end for Gnupg. The instructions are below. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue what the KDEDIR is, or should be. I've done a search for KDE and it appears in 5 different directories, none appear to be what I would expect such as the Redhat example below. On the MDK install I have, the directories that *might* be what I should use are /user/share/mdk/kde or in the user home directory /.kde -- the other 3 are related to configurations or documents.

I'm a rookie with Linux, KDE, and Mandrake. I can follow the directions below once I understand what I should enter as {your kde path}. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Be sure to have environnement variable $KDEDIR correctly set.
(type # echo $KDEDIR. if there is no output, type # export KDEDIR={your kde path}
Download source file, then in a console, type:

gunzip kgpg-0.x.x.tar.gz
tar -xf kgpg-0.x.x.tar
cd kgpg-0.x.x
export KDEDIR=path_to_your_kde_dir (for SuSE, it's /opt/kde3, Redhat is /usr/local/kde)
./configure
make
su -c 'make install'
(enter your root password)

KDEDIR is the root directory of your kde installation.
For example, on SuSE KDE is installed in /opt/kde3, so the kdedir is /opt./kde3.
On RedHat kde is installed in /usr/local/kde. so kdedir is /usr/local/kde.
To figure out which directory kde is installed in on mandrake, look for the file ../bin/konqueror (or another kde-application).
If the complete path to konqueror is /usr/local/bin/konqueror, then /usr/local is the KDEDIR on your system.

Use "locate kdestart" the result will show you the location of the KDE startup script and that is your KDEDIR.

Re: MDK9.1 + KDE + KGPG

on Mandrake 9.1, KDEDIR is /usr
