HI

I wonder if anyone can help me please, i am novice to suse linux. I am trying to install KOPETE when i do: ./configure

I get:

error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (headers and libraries) notfound. Please check your installation!

What dose that mean? and what do i need to do to correct it?

Please help.

regards,

prestoj8

Try to install the qt3-devel package.

HI abisko00

I installed the qt3-devel package (thank you for your suggesstion), now i get this error after doing ./configure:

n the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

any ideas?

Many thanks

You could try again with ./configure prefix=/opt/kde3

no joy
same error (in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
)

I think i am going to dump kopete and go for SIM instead.

Many thanks for your help

You need to install the kde development packages (kdelibs-devel).

Sorry, I should have seen that the KDE headers where missing too. In general, if something like headers are missing, you need to install the corresponding devel package.

You can also try to install the kopete-rpm by guru. Add his repository to your YaST sources:

Change Source of Installation->Add->FTP
server: ftp.gwdg.de
directory: pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/9.1 (change version to yours)

And install via YaST->Software->Install and Remove Software

EDIT: Just found out that kopete is part of the kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger package (no need to add another installation source)

Hi

everything is going ok now until i did:

make

then i got this:

/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libjpeg.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libjpeg.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[3]: *** [libkopeteui.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/prestoj8/kopete-0.9.2/kopete/libkopete/ui'
make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/prestoj8/kopete-0.9.2/kopete/libkopete'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/prestoj8/kopete-0.9.2/kopete'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1


what shall i do now?

That's the way it goes if you compile yourself. A lot of devel packages and libraries need to be installed

Have a try with libjpeg, jpeg and/or gd, gd-devel (not sure, but one or more of those are probably missing).

finally, got it working

Kopete works now, phew, need to practice more with unix.

I would like to thank you all:

abisko00 &
reddazz

for your great help, without you guys, i would ended up being stuck and abandoned the whole thing.

thank you both again

presto you say thanks to everyone yet you do not state how you got it to work for you, what did you do to get it to work?

dolphans1,

Installing libjpeg-devel will fix the below error...

/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libjpeg.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libjpeg.la' is not a valid libtool archive

Which I'm assuming is what prestoj8 did.
