Hi, I've got Qt 3.1.2 and KDE 3.1.0 default installed on my Slackware 9.0 & I have problems with compiling small kde applications, for example 'caitoo', because there is an error when i run ./configure:
--------------------
checking for KDE headers installed... configure: error: your system is not able to compile a small KDE application!
Check, if you installed the KDE header files correctly.
--------------------
I made some corrections in my env, after querying google:
caitoo-0.6.6# tail -15 config.log
configure:4079: g++ -c -O2 -Wall -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/include/qt conftest.C

Can you build anything?
I'd probably need to see the first errors in the config script
but my first guess is you are missing 'probably' some c libraries.
What do you see when you type gcc -v
?
Just a guess...
configure:2459: warning: implicit declaration of function `XtMalloc'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/../../../../i386-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lX
t
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 2456 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
Hmmm. so it is a size thing? memory allocation?
Sorry can't help you there.
(But what about my question can you compile anything?)
It could still be missing libs...
I have only problem with some kde progs like 'caitoo' as i sad and another app that I have is for example 'krabber'. Programs like newest samba, nmap:>, apache, etc compile succesfull. Only KDE progs fail.
I just tried to configure 'caitoo' remotely on my friend's machine. He has just installed Slackware 9.1,
and there is the same problem.
I'm just compiling the newest kde base&libs but It's the last thing I do for it.. If it won't work I'll just search for some another download manager for X
