    Hagbard Celine - 2003-04-18

    So, I'm having something of a problem installing KBatt, the KDE laptop battery manager. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with KDE 3.1.

    I then ran ./configure to start building the program as per the instructions. After a whole lot of lines coming up in the command window (the configure file checking various things), the process seizes, and I get the following error:

    --------error begin---------
    configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
    For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
    --------error end---------

    I have installed the QT libraries, and the paths etc. seem to be working (I wrote a quickie Hello World app using those libraries, and it ran properly). Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA.

      I am running RedHat 9 with KDE 3.3  (Release 3.3.2-1.2.rh90.kde)

      I had to install the development environment for the compile to work, using these RPMs:

      arts-devel-1.3.2-1.0.rh90.kde.i386.rpm
      kdebase-devel-3.3.2-1.5.rh90.kde.i386.rpm
      kdelibs-devel-3.3.2-1.2.rh90.kde.i386.rpm

      Then the configure, compile, and install steps worked.

      I rebooted and "KDE Battery Meter" appeared in the add-->applet menu from the panel. 

      It was not there before the reboot.  Is there a way to get an applet you just installed to show up in that menu without a reboot?
