No KDE headers installed!

Hi i try to installed a program (source code) not in portage and i get the following error:

Code: Select all

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

I have kde 3.4.2.Where can i find the headers?

Hi!
The kde headers are installed in:

Code: Select all

/usr/kde/3.x/include/

Where 3.x is your version of kde. (ie 3.3, 3.4, etc)

The easiest way to compile a non portage kde program is to pass --prefix=/usr/kde/x.x/ to configure:

Code: Select all

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/kde/3.4/

Although note that is not the only solution and probably not the best.
Better is to write (or get someone to write) an ebuild for the application and submit it to portage

An excellent ebuild writing guide can be found here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual/

What program are you trying to install? (A fair amount of programs on http://kde-apps.org/ have unofficial ebuilds, and there are also a lot of third party ebuilds in the forums)

Hi there.Thanx for the reply.Everything worked with ldconfig env-update and source /etc/profile:D

Are you by any chance using amd64? This happened to me once, but I couldn't tell why.
