Can't install windows decorations

Hungry ghost · 04-15-2005, 12:19 PM

Hi, I'm trying to install some windows decorations for KDE downloaded from kde.org but when I run the configure script I get this error:

Code:

checking for KDE... libraries /usr/lib, headers /usr/include/kde
checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... configure: error: not found - you need to install kdelibs first.

The problem is that I installed kdelibs already with yum when updating some kde packages. I ran "locate kdelibs" and I found them in yum's cache (maybe they're installed with a different name). Also, when I installed kdelibs I was using kde and the system crashed when installing them (but seemed to install all the kdeliibs-dependent packages I had selected) I wonder if this could have caused an installation problem. Can anyone help??
Thanks in advance.

try an rpm --rebuilddb to make sure they are there. after that run

rpm -q kdelibs

then perhaps force an up2date of kdelibs. to overwrite and fix (hopefully) the problem.

sorry if no help..

Hi, thanks for your help. I ran "rpm --rebuilddb" and "rpm -q kdelibs" and they seem to be installed since the output was "kdelibs-3.3.1-2.9.FC3", well I'll try forcing an update to see what happens.
