Didn't find KDE3 headers

wutanghax0r · 01-22-2010, 03:57 PM

I'm trying to set up khtml2png on a private test web server running fedora 6

I read that it requires the development libs for kde so I went through a long process of installing:
kdelibs4-devel-3.90.1-2.fc6

and all of the many dependencies that it needed.

I tried to run the ./configure file to set up khtml2png and am getting the following errors:

Code:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
-- Didn't find KDE3 headers
-- Didn't find KDE3 core library
-- Didn't find the KDE3 dcopidl preprocessor
-- Didn't find the KDE3 dcopidl2cpp preprocessor
-- Found KDE3 kconfig_compiler preprocessor: /usr/bin/kconfig_compiler
CMake Error at /root/programs/cmake-2.8.0/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindKDE3.cmake:288 (MESSAGE):
  Could NOT find everything required for compiling KDE 3 programs
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:6 (find_package)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I'm not sure what's wrong. I thought the headers would be included in kdelibs4-devel. I'm not very experienced with Linux and I'm not sure where to look or what the next step would be to get this working.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Fedora core 6 reached end of life many years ago, please upgrade to Fedora 12. You wont fine must of the packages anymore as most repository have been taken down after the end of life statement. It's even hard to believe that you managed to install Cmake 2.8. Are you sure it is Fedora 6 and not 11 or 12?

Anyway, you need to install kdelibs 3 development files, not KDE4. KDE4 is not backward compatible with KDE3, the code need to be ported manually.

kdelibs4-devel-3.90.1-2.fc6
fedora 6 as stated is DEAD and unsupported

please install CentOS 5.4 if you need a long life cycle

.....

.. providing version 3.5.4 .

fedora 6 is so old that the repos are mostlikely not up
after the fedora 8 server brake in there were new hashes made and the fedora 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 repos WERE NOT rehashed

so the " kdelibs-devel.rpm will need to be found in the archives and yum REPROGRAMMED to go to the archives

see glennzo's HELP page on this
"Reload this Page Repository configuration for older Fedora releases. "
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=221471

BUT remember fedora 6 has NOT HAD any updates to is since it HIT END OF LIFE on Dec. 2007
NO UPDATES for the last 3 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

if you need a LONG LIFE distro PLEASE install CentOS 5.4 or RHEL 5.4 !!!

:-/
I installed kdelibs4 and kdelibs4-devel Is there anything I can do to go back to kdelibs and kdelibs-devel now? I ran probably 25 rpm files to get all the required dependencies taken car of to install the kdelibs4 files.

I installed kdelibs4

How the heck did you install ked4 on FEDORA 6 ???????

Quote:

Reinstall
I would install CentOS 5.3
It is using kde3.5 for the Default kde install

if SOMEHOW you got ked4 rpm's to install on fedora 6( just guessing by using the "-force" option) your install is beyond repair

I found rpms for it for fc6 online. I never used "-force" just rpm -ihv

This pc boots into gnome (not kde) and I rarely use the gui anyway. This computer is a local private file and web server used only by me for test purposes. I access it via ssh or ftp most of the time. If at all possible I'd like to just be able to install the correct kde libraries. Is there no easy way to uninstall the kdelibs4 and kdelibs4-devel to be able to install kdelibs and kdelibs-devel?

If i have to I will set up a new PC with a different distro and migrate over to it, but I was hoping to be able to avoid that. :-/

Thanks for all of your help and suggestions so far.

migrate .Fedora 6 has had NO security updates for 3 years and NO support for 3 years

I would put CentOS 5.4 on a server
CentOS has a 5 year life span , VS Fedora's 13 MONTH life span .
