X Includes? Problems with themes and ./configure

Beginner

Friday, June 6th 2003, 8:22pm

I'm having some strange issues with installing themes... I'm unable to ./configure any themes. After unpacking the tarbells I run ./configure and meet the same script on each:

"checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"

I've tinkered with all the --with and --prefix commands but nothing works. My includes are in /usr/X11R6/include and I can't get them to look there. This has also been affecting other runs of ./configure for other applications too.

If anyone has this information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you hear a Windows XP installation cd will play satanic messages when you spin it backwards?

That's nothing. When you spin it forwards it installs Windows XP.

perhaps you havent installed the development files?

or try

[code:1]./configure --prefix=/usr[/code:1]

under redhat, and

[code:1]./configure --prefix=/opt[/code:1]
under mandrake (i think)

this basically tells the configure command whereabouts your KDE is installed

Hi,
by default the development packages (sources) are not installed. You have to do it yourself. Open you packagemanager and search for something like xfree-devel (or only devel) Install it and it should work.

When I try to compile themes, I get his error:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

I'm running MDK 9.1

you need to install the qt-lib and/or the qt-devel files

you can check if you have them though the console:

rpm -q "package_name"

When compiling for RH9, I always use...

[code:1]./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt-3.1 --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`[/code:1]

Which works every time. But it took several attempts to work this out.

I finally managed to configure things out,
here is what I did.

1. I installed all the qt3 related files
2. I installed all the kde-devel , core files
3. I overcome the bad signature and other CD things by copying the whole RPM files to my HDD and pointed to them as main install using rpm manager
4. voila!!

thanks for all whom helped me out
