Hi.
I'm trying to install in my gnome the latest version of KTORRENT, but if fails only because KDE isn't installed.
Quote:
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
Is there any way for me to install it without KDE ? How can I fix this message from ./configure??
Ktorrent is built for KDE so if you want to run it in Gnome you need all the KDE components required to run Ktorrent.
What distro are you using? Instead of installing using source try installing from your distros package manager, it will automatically resolve any dependency problems you have.
I'm using Debian, but I want the latest version that isn't in my repositories. The latest version is the only one I can select and give priority to specific files inside a torrent. For exemple: Spiderman is 1 torrent with 4 files. CD1, CD2, TRASH and TRASH. I want to download CD1 with highest priority and don't download TRASHES.
Anyway, do you know what are the minimum packages from KDE needed for ktorrent don't complain about KDE? I have installed KDELIBS, KDELIBS4c2a, and KDELIBS-DATA. The only KDELIBS that remains is KDELIBS4-DEV (that has many dependencies), KDELIBS-DBG, some kdelibs bindings.
Sorry I don't know that. You could try solving the dependencies manually but then each dependency will have it's own dependencies.
You could try this though: Install Ktorrent from the repositories. Then remove just ktorrent and try compiling the newer ktorrent from source (there still might be problems not sure).
You could try azureus, I think it has the feature to set file download priorities and I believe all torrent clients can take over and continue previous downloads started by another client.
I don't like azureus but thanks for the suggestion.
About install KTORRENT from the repository to get the dependencies, and did it. But, KTORRENT doesn't need any dependency that I wouldn't have already installed. When I selected KTORRENT no dependencies were selected together.
Even .configure from KTORRENT I have download just complains about the lack of KDE headers.
Take a look at this again:
Quote:
n the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, doesn't It seems it's just saying that I should run ./configure with some prefix to EXCLUDE the need of kde headers???? The dependencies for the program to run are all covered.
Not sure, but I think that error requires you to add something like --prefix=/usr/include/kde where /usr/include/kde is the location of the header files.
Try running "locate include | grep kde" and then use some of the dir's listed with the option above for ./configure.
Also try ./configure --help and check out the list of features you can enable/disable.
I remind you, I don't use KDE. I didn't install it. The purpose here is to install KTORRENT in GNOME with no KDE.

./configure --help
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.
Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.
Configuration:
-h, --help display this help and exit
--help=short display options specific to this package
--help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages
-V, --version display version information and exit
-q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
--cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled]
-C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
-n, --no-create do not create output files
--srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']
Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[the kde prefix]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`the kde prefix/bin', `the kde prefix/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `the kde prefix' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
For better control, use the options below.
Fine tuning of the installation directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]

--htmldir=DIR html documentation [DOCDIR]
--dvidir=DIR dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
--pdfdir=DIR pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
--psdir=DIR ps documentation [DOCDIR]
Program names:
--program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names
--program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program names
--program-transform-name=PROGRAM run sed PROGRAM on installed program names

Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
CPPFLAGS C/C++/Objective C preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP C preprocessor
CXX C++ compiler command
CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags
CXXCPP C++ preprocessor
F77 Fortran 77 compiler command
FFLAGS Fortran 77 compiler flags
XMKMF Path to xmkmf, Makefile generator for X Window System
PKG_CONFIG path to pkg-config utility
AVAHI_CFLAGS
C compiler flags for AVAHI, overriding pkg-config
AVAHI_LIBS linker flags for AVAHI, overriding pkg-config
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
Well, as long as you don't install at least the directly relevant KDE components, you're facing an impossible task. What's so difficult about doing that if you badly need ktorrent?

No No.. You misunderstood me.. I have no problem with that. I can install any relevant KDE component. I just can't install the entire KDE. I said before.. I had installed some KDELIBS.. etc etc.. I even asked if I were missing some libs. See?? The important here is to find exactly what you said! The relevant components. Just them.
Thanks
Well none of those dir's will contain the header files. This probably means you need KDE, even if you need just some of the components, to run ktorrent.
Also take a look at this thread.
I know it's about suse, but the dev packages they mention, try downloading those manually and untar them. Then point ./configure to look in those dir's for KDE headers. This might work might not.
EDIT: Also try installing those packages via apt, but then I doubt you can just install those packages without installing quite a bit more of KDE. Worth a try.
It worked!! ./configure asked me to install some GMP after the last kdelib mentioned. After that everything worked fine here in Gnome. Ktorrent is installed and has even appeared in the menu Aplications -> Internet.
