Hi all,

I am a newbie to Linux. I use SuSE 9.2 eval
I wanted to upgrade my KDE to 3.4

But I received that error while upgrading:

What does that mean?

I'd be very happy if you can help...

Thanks in advance...

Why did you post the same exact thread to two different forums? The mods tend to enforce crossposting rules rather strictly.

ANYWAY to answer your question:

Note the errors: complaints about missing files and directories. Rather than spoon-feed you I will help you learn how to resolve the dependencies.

In one error, the compiler is complaining about Xlib.h's not being present, or not being where the compiler expects it -- or you forgot to run ./configure prior to running make. In either case, try re-running ./configure in the project's directory. I see that since you also posted this topic in the Suse/Novell forum that you are running Suse Linux - in that case, Xlib.h should be located in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h and not {...current working directory...}/X11/Xlib.h

Xlib.h is one of the X library header files required in order to compile programs which link to those libraries. If after you run ./configure in the project directory, the compiler still cannot find the library, you need to install the development headers.
