KDE file manager

I'm using KDE 3.3.0 and i want to use a file manager like Total Commander from Windows, with two file/dirs windows. Is there anything like what i want available?

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but in Konqueror you can split the view into as many frames as you want. Just go to the window menu and select whether you want to split the pane vertically or horizontally.

Also check out Gentoo (the file manager, not the distro) and Midnight commander (being also usable without X) and choose your liking.

Krusader. Christian Ghisler himself uses it when he's on Linux. (no joke)

I've tried to compile the package, but it says that it can't fine some library:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/libstdc++.la

I've checked myself and the file IS there. What can i do ?

Actually there are already many posts on this subject. I personaly had the same problem.

My guess is that the file IS NOT there, but you have been misguided because you looked in the 3.4.3 directory instead of 3.3.4, which probably does not exist on your system. So you went in the only directory you have and thought it was the good one because it really looks like it.
At least that is exactly what happened to me.

If I am right and the file does exist, but in the wrong directory, all you have to do is symlink the file in the 3.3.4 directory. And everything should work fine.

And BTW, Krusader rocks big time. There are still improvements to be made, but much progress has been made in a few months, and i think it's the best file manager for KDE (aesthetics + usability).

You have to create a symbolic link pointing towards libstdc++.la in the directory the compiler looks for it.

For instance, in your case, the file :
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/libstdc++.la
is missing.

Assuming (up to you to find out the real path on your system) you have the file libstdc++.la in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/
(that's where it was on my system at the time), you have to :

-Create the /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/ folder if it doesn't already exist
-Go to that folder (cd /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/)
And create the link :
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/libstdc++.la libstdc++.la

Be careful not to get confused between the path where the physical file exists and the path where you want it to be for the compile task to work. (cf bold characters)

Hope this helps!
