I've been working my way through the tutorial at

http://women.kde.org/articles/tutorials/…troduction.html

on a Suse 10.0 installation and I've run into a snag. At

http://women.kde.org/articles/tutorials/…3/creating.html

the tutorial explains how to start a new Simple KDE app with the Application Wizard. Then it tells you to

"compile it to ensure that everything is fine. To do that, select Build -> Run automake & friends then "Build -> Run configure."

So far, so good. then

"so you can run "make" with Build -> Build Project (or using the F8 shortcut). "

So far, still so good. Then

"Then Build -> Install.

This produces the following, including the error message at the bottom:

I'm running Kdevelop 3.2.2 using KDE 3.4.2 level "b" and Qt Designer 3.3.4
Any suggestions?

What does "installing denied" in the above output mean?

Well the answer turns out to be quite simple. After futher reading of the log I noticed that it was saying installing denied. So I tried giving rights to all those directories in question using "sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/kde". And it worked and the problem was solved.

But I'm not entirely sure of the wiseness of giving full access rights to all those directories.

if you install to /opt/kde3 or someother place where your user does not have access, you will need to install as root. There is a menu item in the build menu for this in KDevelop, if i remember correctly.
