your system is not able to compile a small kde application

Alexander Chuzhoy — Sun, 02 May 2004 06:23:26 GMT

I get this error when I try to run "configure" of kdiff source on rhel 3.0
it also says:
check if you installed the KDE header files correctly
I've reinstalled all KDE related rpms already....

At this point, assuming the co-requisites are in, I'd say its time to file a report with Red Hat or run a search on their system.

Also the exact error text in google is sometimes very useful.

Hi,

please do a

rpm -qa | grep -i kde

In that list you need to have the kdelibs-devel package to build KDE apps.

If that is not the problem certainly the full error message you receive from ./configure including context would be useful.

Greetings, Martin

What about the 'kde-devel' packages?

probably you don't have

qt-devel

package?

I would have thought that these two lines meant it did find it:

checking for Qt... libraries /usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib, headers /usr/lib/qt-3.1/include
checking if Qt compiles without flags... no

You know something about this package that isn't in the output thus far Vitaly?

Hi,
I'm sure you read all the READMEs about compilation but the first question I have in mind is
Did you set all the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, QTDIR, KDEDIR... and such variables? compiling kde apps requires a lot ov env vars set.

Peace, R.

I've tryed to configure/make kdiff on my RHEL3.0 box; I got the same error as Alexandr.

My guess is: kdiff 0.9 [the latest version] was released in 1999 and probably doesn't compile well with KDE&QT 3.1

Try building "Kompare" instead. It'Ã¦s much better and probably works with recent KDE

Thanks guys!
consider this thread as closed.
I'll convince the user to stick with kompare.
Thanks again!
