I'm trying to install kopete-0.7.1 from source and am getting an error.
I'm using KDE. I went to the directory with the source files in a console and typed ./configure and this is what the last few lines looked like.

checking whether uic supports -L ... yes
checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes
checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no
checking for rpath... yes
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!


Thanks for any help.

Apparently, you don't have the developmental packages for KDE headers.

Use the Mandrake Control Center and install the stuff mentioned in the errors.

# Mandrake links
Mandrake home page
Mandrake Users website
Easy urpmi config for Mandrake
urpmi mini-HOWTO
Easy software management: Red Carpet
Maximum RPM
rpmfind
You didn't install the developmental packages? As root, command:
urpmi gcc
An Introduction to the Midnight Commander. You can install it by commanding:
urpmi mc
Midnight Commander home page

a little help. I don't run Mandrake anymore. I just installed sUsE 8.2 pro just this morning. I was poking around on the kde website but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask first. Where can I download the KDE headers?

Can't you find it in yast?

Nope. Sure can't. What am I looking for? I'm in YaST2 now and am searching for,
KDE headers
KDE header
KDE devel
KDE development

I did a search for "KDE" and everything it found is already installed.

btw, I'm searching in Name, Summary and Description.

Thanks for your prompt response.

HeHe, sorry, was looking in the wrong YaST2. Got it. Thanks for the help.
