[kopete] Installation problems

Hi,

I have downloaded kopete 8.0 and am trying to install on my linux box running SuSE 8.2 Pro.

I have extracted the download file and then run ./configure as root.

After a while, configure exits with an error:

----------------------------
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
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.
----------------------------

running tail -10 config.log gives the following:

----------------------------
jackass:/home/nroper/downloads/kopete-0.8.0 # tail -10 config.log
#define SIZEOF_SIZE_T 4
#define SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG 4
#define STDC_HEADERS 1
#define VERSION "3.2.0"
#define ksize_t socklen_t
#endif
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit;

configure: exit 1
jackass:/home/nroper/downloads/kopete-0.8.0 #
----------------------------

Any ideas ?

Thanks in anticipation,

Nick Roper

make sure that you have a version of QT which is up to the requirements of kopete.

run

kde-config -v

[code:1]
[seb@localhost seb]$ kde-config -v
Qt: 3.2.3
KDE: 3.2.2
kde-config: 1.0

Hi Seb,

OK, thanks.

This is what I get:

nroper@jackass:~> kde-config -v
Qt: 3.1.1
KDE: 3.1.1
kde-config: 1.0
nroper@jackass:~>

What do you suggest?

thanks,

Nick

Hello,

Are there more recent version of Qt for SuSE 8.2 on Yast Online Update or somewhere else? If there is, try downloading and installing it. Oh, and don't forget to install devel version of rpm also.

Hope this helps.

OK, I'm getting there (slowly!)

I downloaded and installed a later version of qt from Trolltech. After several attempts to install & make I figured out that I needed the -threads options for configure.

Anyway, the kopete configure script now gets past qt, but falls over a few lines later (see below)

Any thoughts on this - I'm not sure what prefix it is referring to - do I need a later version of KDE?

Thanks,

Nick

in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

Either that or you need a devel rpm for KDE 3.1.1. Try installing kde-3.1.1-devel.rpm, if that doesn't help, you probably need a more recent version of KDE.

It's allways like that when installing from the sources. :)

edit.

./configure --prefix=<path-to-kde>, you can find out the KDE prefix with "which kde-config", I am quite confident that in your case it is /opt/kde since you are using SuSE.
