Thanks for the reply! I will try this, but I want to ask a followup question whether I'll need it or not in this case:
For others who may see or attempt to answer this thread, remember (from my first post) that I want to have, at least for the time being, two versions of kate on my system, the 4.8.4 version that comes with Debian Wheezy as well as a later (latest) version. For that later version, I will install the source in ~ and compile it and put the binary in somewhere other than /usr--I am following a set of instructions (in the first post) that tell me how to do that. If kdelibs5-dev at version 4:4.8.4-4+deb7u1 does not work for me in this case, presumably I should download either the source or a binary for kdelibs5- dev at version 4:4.14.n. * Where should I look for that? * Should I be trying to find source code or a binary? * Where should I install that? (I'm guessing that if it is source code, I should store it in a directory somewhere in ~ "near" the source code for kate 4.14.n.?) Thanks!
