Hello, I'm new to KDE. I started using it specifically because I want to use kvim & vimpart (on my powerpc running woody with KDE 3.1). After a fruitless search for debs for my platform, I attemped to compile kvim. After reading through the Makefile, setting things to what I think is appropriate, I run ./configure and I get this error:
[...] checking for xmkmf... /usr/bin/X11/xmkmf checking for X... no checking if X11 header files can be found... no checking --enable-gui argument... no GUI support configure: error: could not find Qt directory I always get this, even if I explicitly use all the --enables that is mentioned in the documentation and I ran make reconfig too. Do you have any idea of what the steps are to take to get this to compile? I set GUI_INC_LOC = -I/usr/share/qt3 and GUI_LIB_LOC = -L/usr/lib/qt3, and I set CONF_OPT_X=/usr/bin/X11/. Anyways, I then opted for a different tactic and I made a little more progress. I downloaded the Conectiva rpm for vimpart and kvim and turned them into debs with alien. Then I installed them using `dpkg -i`. This was successful. Alien ended up installing them in /usr/lib/kde3/bin, which may be significant to my problem, I don't know. According to the instructions distributed with vimpart, I should then be able to go to: Control Center->KDE Components->Component Chooser->Embedded Text Editor and select kvim. No love though :( So, do I have to move the vimpart and/or kvim binaries somewhere else, or what? How to get KDE to see that I have vimpart and kvim? Many thanks, Gurujiwan
