Window Decorations ( Kubuntu 6.06 ) Compile error

Unknowndeepness · 07-08-2006, 11:10 AM

Hello there.

I want to get some skins on my computer (Honestly i dont care how, as long as it gets pretty ^^) but compiling it fails.

Trying to compile Alphacube from KDE-look:

For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libqt3-mt-dev: Depends: libqt3-mt (= 3:3.3.6-1ubuntu3) but 3:3.3.6-1ubuntu6 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I dunno what to do to fix it. :O
I just want some themes.

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev libqt3-mt=3:3.3.6-1ubuntu3

The reason apt-get refuses to install the required version is (most probably) that some program(s) depend on the version you already have installed. It's up to you whether or not you want to uninstall those programs.

If you don't, there might be a way to install alphacube anyways: get the source for libqt3-mt=3:3.3.6-1ubuntu3, compile what needs to be compiled yourself, store it somewhere in your home directory, and point the configure script for alphacube to that directory.

hth.

Okay, now i got another problem instead.

in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

Doh.
How hard can it be to get some themes ?

Install the kdelibs-devel (kdelibs-dev) package.

I kinda hate this right now. :P

Try updating your apt sources (sudo apt-get update) and then install kdelibs-dev.

Still the same thing. :/

Try downloading libarts1-dev from an Ubuntu mirror, install it using dpkg and then try and install kdelibs-dev afterwards.

Gosh. Isnt there ANY better way of doing this?

APT should have installed the packages automatically, but it appears that there is a broken package that APT doesn't want to install. Unfortunately if apt won't install a package, you have to look for a work around and manual installation of packages is one of them.

err... the second error message is probably due to the same issue as the first. Apply the same solution.
