when i try install kopete 0.9 i wrote console ./configure and then i got this error massage

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

i look at the these paths /usr/include/X11 --> /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ and i couldnt find any think like a header files or libraries so i think i have XFree86-devel but i cant find for Mandrake 10.1 ... i look at my CD's i couldnt find anythingor on ftp's.
so where can i find this file or what must i do ? pls help me ?

i think i have already libxorg-x11-6.7.0-2mdk and i must find XFree86-devel-package in accord with this libxorg file isnt it ?

Yup...

Mandrake 10.0 uses XFree

Mandrake 10.1 uses Xorg

These two are different enough that it's screwing up your attempt to install your program from a TAR file.

You shouldn't be doing this anyway.

Rather you should utilize the repositories

See: http://www.zebulon.org.uk

and then

urpmi kopete

mythief..........

as was stated, MDK10.1 uses Xorg by default. you'd need the libxorg-x11-devel-<version number> package, not XFree86-devel. in terminal as root type xorg. see what it lists. if it says "everything already installed....." then i'd have to agree & say try getting an rpm of kopete. actually, that is probably the easiest way, though i don't agree that nothing can be successfully compiled on Mandrake (no offense, opjose). i have compiled many apps successfully. but, that's besides the point.........

if when you do urpmi xorg & it lists the -devel package as available, install it, then try the compile again.

otis

Never said you couldn't compile things.

Rather you shouldn't if the package is available in Mandrakified form from the repositories.

Not only does this make things easier but trying to fix dependencies becomes trivial, without accidentally trashing something important in your system.

thank you very much ... but i have another problem now. when i tried to install libxorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-2mdk.i586 ... i got this error massage

Some package requested cannot be installed:
libxorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-2mdk.i586 (devel(libfreetype) is missing )
are you agree ?

where can i find devel libfreetype for MDK 10.1 ?

i cant find right file for libfreetype devel ....

Have you tried

urpmi freetype

you need the package libfreetype6-devel-<version number>mdk. so, in terminal as root do urpmi libfreetype.

a word of caution........... get the -devel package only. certain freetype packages can play havoc with your fonts. make sure you get the libfreetype-devel only............

otis

i solved my proplems thank you very much ... everybody who use MDK must check this site http://www.zebulon.org.uk/

Hey I got the same problem too when I tried to compile Kopete. How did you resolve it? I visited the website but it was not much help. I just installed Mandrake 10.1 and A NEWBIE. Please help me out.

Thanks

If you follow the above link and do what it says, then all you have to do is type in

urpmi kopete

and everything is taken care of for you.

Start by following the link and setting up URPMI as indicated.

This should be mandatory reading!!!
