I'm trying to install KDE 3.4 using Konstruct. Everything goes fine until it trys to build KDEPIM. It gets through most of the build process, then exits with a series of errors that go something like this:

icalsslexer.l: In function 'sslex':
icalsslexer.l:94: error: request for member 'v_string in something not a structure or union
icalsslexer.l:101: error: request for member 'v_string in something not a structure or union

icalsslexer.c:1762: warning: no previous prototype for 'sslex_destroy'
make[7]: *** [icalsslexer.lo] Error 1


Any insight as to what's going on, and how I can fix it? Alternatively, is there a way to tell Konstruct to skip installation of KDEPIM? I don't really care about it, as I won't use it, and don't mind not having it unless it's required for KDE to work.

Thanks!

I re-ran construct using make -k install to get it to keep going even if it was unable to make some packages. Assuming there are no other errors in the make process, is there any reason why this won't work? Like I said I don't care if KDEPIM works or not, as I won't be using it.

I really do not have a solution for your issue but have you attempted to install KDE by source?

Well, I was trying to install from source, and that's when I got the error above. Anyway, I did make -k install to get the build process to keep going even if there were errors, and it finished last night (after about 2 days compiling on my 800 MHz machine). I was able to successfully run KDE 3.4, so it seems that everything's OK. I doubt the KDEPIM applications work correctly, but I'd just as soon not have them installed anyway, as I have no use for them. I would still like to know what was causing that problem however, just so I can learn.

i havce exactly the same proble - yoper linux 2.2 pre

ok i solved the problem and posted a bug report http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102670
