KDE headers
trying to install kreatecd-0.2.2; configure quits at "checking for KDE headers installed"
then says to see if KDE headers are properly installed-that my system(Slack8.0)can't install a small KDE app. previous to this line KDE libraries are found(/opt/KDE/lib) and headers are found (/opt/KDE/include). so what's what here? thanks for any help. |
Try "./configure --prefix=/opt/kde"
|
tried that, same see if kde headers are properly installed message. have installed other software and only problems have been missing libs or other dependencies, though i have noticed that sometimes i will get a missing this or tha and i know this or that is on the machine-i suppose this is some sort of environment or path problem which i'm still not good at-am working on it. i will continue to roll this around and I appreciate any thoughts as well as i appreciate the links -the beer thing is cool. thanks -tincat

Ok, check that /opt/kde in in ld.so.conf if not add it and do ldconfig.
|
added /opt/kde to ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig then configure kreate-same results-last lines of configure run are:
checking for kde paths.............................. checking for kde libraries /opt/kde/lib, headers /opt/kde/include checking for kde headers installed.......configure:error:your system is not able to compile a small kde application! check to see if you have properly installed kde headers......... set command gives me KDE_DIR=opt/kde, KDE_DISPLAY=0.0, KDE_INITIAL_DESKTOP=2, KDE_MULTIHEAD=FALSE, LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/kde/lib, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/kde/lib -some of this was apparent from the configure report and i don't know if any of it is relevant, but i am looking into how are kde headers properly installed and if they aren't, why is this the first i'm hearing about it? thanks for your time on this. |
I did a search for kreatecd-0.2.2 and found this page which says that the latest version for kde2 is KreateCD-1.1.0, going by the info on that page your trying to compile a version designed for kde1
|
right on-got 0.1.1 and everything was smooth. i guess your advice to me should have been LATFM. i was trying to dig things up out of the kde manual, but i don't know why i never thought to delve further into the app documentation. i must say that i'm a little surprised that kreatecd0.1.1 is for kde2 and kreatecd0.2.2 is for kde1. now i'm wondering where i got 0.2.2 as i can't find the source [think it was a tucows mirror in ohio]. my next hurdle will be to get the burner recognized and going. i have a philips cdrw800 unit, which as i understand it is ide atapi-cdrtoaster says to configure the kernel for scsi emulation, etc. i also have a dvd drive and i'm wondering if i do this reconfigure will i be able to keep the dvd as is and use it as now for av and data input? out of space here, more later-especially thanks!

You need to pass an option to the kernel when booting telling it to use scsi enulation for your cdrw, you do this in lilo by adding the following line to lilo.conf,
Code:
append = "hd# = ide-scsi" primary master = hda primary slave = hdb secondary master = hdc secondary slave = hdd Then you need to "modprobe ide-scsi" Have a look at the CD-Writing-HOWTO for more indepth instructions. I have my DVD on hdc and my CDRW on hdd. |
got burner on board as secondary slave-hdd and am working my way through the howto, detour to put in open office-looks good,but no chance to use it yet. i don't have a primary slave -hdb- only one hd so far thinking about raid later . your help has been great back soon-i know i'll have questions -many times it seems i can get the concept but i'm weak on the particulars of the implementation(do i put in the quotation marks?-to what are they referring here?-took me a week to identify the pipe key on the keyboard). small question-i'm on kernel 2.2.19 now, if i do this reconfigure for the burner, would i be better to configure and compile a 2.4? i think 2.4.5 is available as part of slack8 and i have the gzipped tarballs of 2.4.16 and2.4.17. thanks much.
|
If you have 2.4.17 then use that before 2.4.5, better still download 2.4.18.
|
didn't think i'd be back so soon, but here it is; i got 2.4.18 and configured and compiled and added old kernel to lilo.conf and rebooted-everything looked good but 2.4.18 wouldn't go any further than the message "no setup signature found" can't find this in any of my books. can you give me a clue? also should i drop the append ide-scsi line from lilo since i compiled 2.4 or will it matter? thanks for your thoughts.
|
"no setup signature found" means your kernel is too big, what steps did you use when making/installing the kernel?
|
i believe you are right,. i poked around and noticed that the zImage-vmlinuz was only 3kb in size,so i thought to run things again w/similar config options(added a few things but mostly modules) and up came system is too big-so i redid w/bzImage. this time things get started-then kernel panic- tried to kill an idle process. can still boot to 2.2.19. the linux dir in /usr/src points to /usr/src/linux-2.2.19. /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux points to /tmp/linux. /tmp is the starting point for this compile- i may have something screwed here. i believe i pretty much followed the slackware outline on inst. w/
make mrproper make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules, then replace vmlinuz w/ bzImage-replace System.map and run /sbin/lilo-then edit lilo to setup 2.2.19using image=vmlinuz.old and label=linux2.2-2.2 seems to boot fine and 2.4 is trying to do something. will do this again starting from /root. what should i remove to clear things up for another attempt? again, thanks |
I have a wee slackware kernel guide here.
|
kernel guide looks good-will try w/ make install this time. i'm running a hand built 1200 athlon-asus/a7v133. i dual boot win2000/slack8.0-win will go when i get my hardware going on slack-i have xine about half together and i want to put in a colorado250mb tape drive as well as an iomega 250 parallel port.
zip, plus some cameras a philips and an aiptek pencam. i can't seem to get the floppy right-registers as fd0 but i can't get it to mount under /dev/fd0-tape drive uses floppy cable w/floppy so i need to sort that out. but first the kernel. also i am embarassed to to reveal the state of my ip connection-i truly am at the end of the queue here in the techno3rdworld-my download speeds are on the order of 2kb/sec-makes me paranoid over files corrupted in transfer, let alone the hours involved to get even a new kernel. cannot log on to p-2.net-password incorrect even after a new password sent-just lost connection hope this gets through-later |
