Trouble Installing KDE Themes in RH 9
I'm trying to install a new KDE 3.1 theme under Red Hat 9
Installation is supposed to go something like this: - Step 1 $ ./configure --prefix=/etc/kde - Step 2 $ make - Step 3 (as root) # make install Problem is that when I run the ./configure command, it dies with this error message: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! I'm not sure what to add to my path to get this to work...I've tried /etc/X11, /etc, /usr/X11R6, /usr/X11R6/bin...but not luck so far. Any help out there? Thanks in advance. |
Hi.
The --prefix should read --prefix=/usr Red Hat have, once again, put files in strange places. Hope this helps. Dave |
ilikejam,
Still getting an error trying to find the X includes when I set --prefix=/usr....any thoughts on what to set $PATH equal to? Thanks again. |
Have you tried installing any other themes?
I've had numerous problems with badly packaged theme files. You might also have to install the development files for X (in fact I think this is more likely to be the problem). The RPM is XFree86-devel - it should be on your installation disks. This contains all the headers etc for X that are needed when compiling. Dave |
i have the same problem and installing the x development headers didnt help me...any tips? paths etc? dunno if i installed the right devel-headers but im pretty sure i did.

Hi again.
There's a directory called 'include' in /usr/X11R6 - this is installed as part of the devel RPM. There's also files installed in /usr/X11R6/lib. Any use? I have to say I've never had to bother with X11 include paths for compiling and installing themes for KDE. Dave |
I had the same problem. So I did (using "lostman" as my user dir)
./configure --prefix=/home/lostman/.kde/ and it worked fine. I think they're looking for your kde dir in $home. which is hidden. I need to install ksmoothdock and after that syntax it installed fine. The executable was then put in /home/lostman/.kde/bin/ |
