Ok, first, some information. What distribution are your running, what version of kde, what version of kopete did you download and di you download source or binary?

If you are a beginner you may be better off to download and install a binary (like an rpm). Give us a couple more details so we can help you, as djtrippin has said!

Well, first do a 'which konqueror' from the konsole, the output should be something like /usr/bin/konqueror or /opt/kde/bin/konqueror. Whatever the output, your prefix will be the output without the /bin/konqueror. Now, extract the file like this:
tar -zxvf kopete-0.8.tar.gz (or whatever the specific file name is)
then:
cd kopete-0.8
./configure --prefix=(output from before minus /bin/konqueror)
make
make install

And thats it.

Apparently you have no c compiler. You will need to find a binary of gcc for your distribution. Try a search of rpm.pbone.net

The files which are distributed with a source release is just that - source. This means the cold hard code which the authors wrote for the application. Its pretty useless as just code, it needs to be compiled for the specific architecture of your computer. Thats why you need a C compiler.

Without a C compiler you wouldnt be able to install source distributions of code, only binary formats like rpm.

I have suse linux too? (9.0)

Thx again. (maybe i'll be back if i can't manage to install the gcc compiler, i'm a windows noob. At least on windows i was able to use my gcc, maybe a good sign :wink: )

I need help again! This is what the terminal shows after I did the ./configure thing

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

What version of KDE are you running? It would appear your QT installation is too old.

I have the problem with QT like Alber

I use Mandrake 9.2 with KDE 3.1.3, but when compile, receive the same error message that Alber.
My QT libraries are updated with the last from QT web, but I don't know to do.
P.D.: At moment I don't want to upgrade KDE to 3.2 versión. I wait to MDK 10 final.

P.D.2: Sorry for my poor english, I'm spanish.

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/locale/be': Permission denied

The command tries to install to /usr/share/locale
but fails. /usr/share/locale probably belongs to root.
Chances are you weren't root when you tried
to install it. That's what the line
"[sully@lanpher-209-davidrsullivan-1 kopete-0.8.0]$ "
suggests, too.

Say "su", enter your root password and try again.
