#30 Debian: Kbear is not installable (dependencies)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have been searching for a good ftp programm for KDE
and found kbear :) Thank you Björn for creating it.
But I was not able to install it.
I am still a newbie, but I usually I get things to work
on my machine.
My computer is running fine with Debian / testing and
KDE-3.1.
The first thing I tried was the official Debian
packages. The current release for testing, kbear
1.2.1-13, needs KDE-2.2, so I couldn't use it. (Depends
on kdelibs3, libqt2, etc.....)
Btw, I can not downgrade to KDE-2.2, because I need the
newest version of K3B (CD-burn software), which needs
KDE-3.1, and it won't work with Sid / unstable either.
The current kbear package for Debian kbear 2.1-x needs
libfam0c102 (it conflicts with libfam0) and
libqt3c102-mt (conflicts with libqt3-mt).
I can not remove libfam0 from my system, because
kdelibs-4 depends on it. And I can also not remove
libqt3-mt, because almost all KDE3 applications depend
on it.
After I tried the packages, I tried installing from
source. I downloaded and unzipped the package. Only
after manually setting an environment variable for the
Qt headers (hehe I read the forum) (btw, on Debian,
usually they are in /usr/include/qt3) and installing
kdelibs4-dev I was able to run ./configure completely.
But then 'make' broke up with error message: 'in the
prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed'
and it couldn't find a header file called 'qobjcoll.h'
either. Then I gave up. I am working a few days on this
problem, which is not too bad, because i like working
on Linux.
Am I right assuming that the source would install just
fine if I was having Debian / unstable or RedHat?

Could someone please help me out?? Has anyone Debian /
testing and KDE-3.1 and got kbear2 running?

Best regards

David Voigt

I'm not familiar to debian so I can't help you there, but to me it
looks as your environment aren't set up correctly. You said
you had set the QTDIR variable, you also need to make sure
that KDEDIRS is set to point to where KDE is installed. Like
this:
export KDEDIRS=where_kde_is_installed:$KDEDIRS
I'm not sure but maybe you need to run kbuildsycoca after this.

Dear kbjorn,

I did as you adviced, reinstalled kdelibs4-dev and
libqt3-mt-dv and it WORKS now!!
I can tell you that I needed to install the
libqt3-compat-headers because they include the header file
'qobjcoll.h'.

Thank you very much!

David
