Help Compiling Kopete

Hey, anyways.. long time ago i had ap roblem where when ever i would compile a kde application on mandrake.. i would get a Error: qt 3.0.1 (qt-mt) not found

so i decided to recompile QT with threaded support and i fixed that error...

now i want to try the CVS of kopete... i got the source from cvs and when i do a ./configure.. i have to add the --with-qt-dir=/usr/local/qt (i compiled qt into that directory) it works fine now BUT now i get a

checking for KDE:..... Error KDElibs /usr/lib, headers /usr/include not found

i do have kde but i dont know why it is saying now it cant find my kde stuff.. anyhelp would be appreciated!

You may not have installed the headers. It depends on KDElibs was compiled, try recompiling it.

Also, kdelibs may not be in /usr/lib , /usr/include, it may be in /usr/local/lib, etc.

Try creating symlinks if it is.

okay well now appreaently i need STL libstdc++-devel to compile kdelibs... talk about fixing one dependency and getting another... anyways i do have that devel install but i cant figure out how to get configure to know that it is there

Yeah,thats a dead file. Its from an old version of glibc.

You have to symlink some stuff to get it to work.

Symlink this: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so --> libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. On my machine, its /usr/lib.

i already have libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.3 in my /usr/lib directory so i cant symlink it.. just says file exists

Then I have no idea. What are you installing Kopete anyway? It sucks.

#59018

The sexy version of gaim (69) came out today.

It fixes the protocol changes with Yahoo and MSN it add support for animated smiley among other things... kopete? bah!

#59242

does the new version of gaim have working avatars for msn protocol.. cause the cvs of kopete has that working im pretty sure

-bolero

#59249

no clue.. none of my MSN frieds have an avatar.... let me check the config for MSN...

at least in the account preferences I can set a buddy icon for myself... so the answer is... I don't know
