So, I'm having something of a problem installing KBatt, the KDE laptop battery manager (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbatt/). I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with KDE 3.1.

I sucessfully untar'd the download from sourceforge (which at first glance isn't so impressive, but as this is my first time with a linux install, it was something of a minor victory).

I then ran ./configure to start building the program. After a whole lot of lines coming up in the command window (the configure file checking various things), the process seizes, and I get the following error:

--------error begin---------
configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
--------error end---------

I have installed the QT libraries, and the paths etc. seem to be working (I wrote a quickie Hello World app using those libraries, and it ran properly). Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA.

run configure with these: --with-qt-includes=/path_to_the_qt3include_files --with-qt-libraries=/path_to_the_qt3library_files

That seemed to do the trick - thanks very much!

Sorry, I've the same problem and I've tried to configure with

configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3

and
configure --with-qt-include=/usr/lib/qt3 --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3

but there'is always the same error.
Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

please help me

I tried using the following command:

./configure --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt3/include --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib

but I am still getting the error .... or are these not the right folders where the includes and libraries are?
