Install gcc.

Hi Nylex,
How ? I found the gcc in usr/lib/
I tried to install it
linux-9tgg:/usr/lib # install gcc
install: missing destination file operand after `gcc'
Try `install --help' for more information.
linux-9tgg:/usr/lib #

Could you pls tell me How ?

... thanx
Mohammed Hammam

Don't know what that file is in /usr/lib, but it won't be the compiler itself. Binaries usually reside in /usr/bin (well quite a few do, anyway).

Install gcc using your distro's package manager. I can't give you more detailed info, since I don't know what distro you're using..

Hi Nylex,
1st thank you for quick responce. 2nd the distro is linux opensuse 10.1.
... thanx

Suse uses yast for a package manager, I don't use Suse so I can't tell you exactly how to use it though. You also might be able to install the original program with yast as well. This should automatically take care of any dependencies that are needed to run it and makes it easier to upgrade or remove later if you don't want to keep it.

Hi mcmillan,
to use yast just open the file by it. The only now I want is to install the dictionary, and it would not because of this error
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
linux-9tgg:/home/hammam/Documents/programs/ktranslator-0.4

Open YaST, click Software Management and install gcc.

Hi UK MADMAN,
1st thank you. 2nd I installed gcc as you adviced and successfully end. I went to install the dictionary, I typed ./configure it works but at the end it gave me this error
checking if C++ programs can be compiled... no
configure: error: Your Installation isn't able to compile simple C++ programs.
Check config.log for details - if you're using a Linux distribution you might miss
Could you pls help to run ./configure successfully.
... thanx

Hi again UK MADMAN,
I installed more cc++ then I ran ./configure again, I got this error

checking for libjpeg... no
configure: WARNING: libjpeg not found. disable JPEG support.
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

... thanx
Mohammed Hammam

You do understand what that error message means, right? It's pretty clear..

Now you need to install Qt's development files.

Have you tried looking for a pre-comiled binary package for whatever distro you're using? It'll probably save you a lot of problems.

Hi UKMADMAN,
I installed Qt file and ran ./configure again I got this error message at the end of running ./configure

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!
linux-9tgg:/home/hammam/Documents/programs/ktranslator-0.4 #

What prefix I have to use ?

... thanx
Mohammed Hammam

Whenever an error message comes up, try looking for source/developer files pertaining to said error.

Hi UKMADMAN,
1st thank you for staying that time with me. 2nd I got another problem yast (software manager) does not shown when i mount it and enter its password, that happened the installation I did and then restart.
Could you ols help to get it back. After I'll continue what I was doing.
... thanx
