Hi, I've done a patch for the acinclude.m4.in file which defines how source distributions find the KDE install dirs that should make it work around the non standard layout in debian (see my earlier posts re: location of docs etc. someone has also mentioned the move of config files to /etc/kde2, which this should also work around).
I haven't attached the patch because I'm not sure how much interest there would be on this list. If you would like a copy either email me or get it from my project on sourceforge http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/kcast/kcast/admin/acinclude.m4.in It's only been hacked internally, so it should work as a drop in replacement for most KDE source distributions (might be worth a try if you cant get a distribution to install properly, anyway). Note this patch is a little dodgy since I'm not very experienced with automake, I'm going to write to the kdevelop mailing list and see if anyone is interested in taking a look to check I haven't actually screwed it in any obvious way ;) If it turns out ok I will submit it to Stephan Kulow who appears to be the current maintainer so it might get included somewhere upstream, but I suspect it will be undergoing modifications for KDE3 so I don't know how it would fit in. Thanks James
