Dear Folks,

I originally did not have a late enough autoconf, so I
got the latest from www.gnu.org.

I get four errors duing 'make' (I used 'make -k' to
force it), and
four errors during 'make -k install' (after 'su' to root).

The program is not placed on a searched path. Please
find attached a text file containing:
output from 'uname -a'
output from 'make -k'
output from 'whoami'
output from 'make -k install'
output from 'kdi<tab-key expansion'

Do you want some other lib info? Tell me what you need.

Regards,
Alf Lacis

    I had this same problem. The file doc/da/index.docbook
    might be incorrect. Here's the workaround if you don't need
    the documentation in the da language:

    For all files in doc/ that contain the string "en da de"
    (i.e. all files that specify the languages to compile), just
    remove the da. I didn't need anything but English so I
    removed all of the other languages, so cannot confirm if the
    other index.docbook files were similarly incorrect.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reminder.
    This is probably due to a new docbook-feature in newer
    KDE-versions which isn't understood by the implementation
    in earlier versions.

    Nevertheless it is possible to cd to the "src" directory
    and do a "make" and "make install" from there. This should
    get you a running program. (But no docs and
    message-translations installed.)
    Do the same for the "po"-directory to install
    message-translations, and for your specific
    "doc/yourlanguage"-subdir to install the docs.

    The other solution is to upgrade to a newer KDE.
    Because I don't control what features the translators use,
    I can't easily fix this on a general basis. Could you
    please tell me your KDE-version, so that I can add this in
    the README.

    Cheers,
    Joachim

    Tried that (with errors). kdiff3 installed, but now this
    dialog appears when starting up:
    +------------------------------------+
    | Error - KDiff3 X|
    +------------------------------------+
    | Could not find our part!
    |(X)
    | This usually happens due to an installation problem.
    | Please read the README-file in the source package
    | for details.
    | <check> OK

    I'm still running R.H.9. Is '-v' from kdesktop OK?

    bash-2.05b$ kdesktop -v
    Qt: 3.1.1
    KDE: 3.1-10 Red Hat
    KDesktop: v1.9.8
    bash-2.05b$

    If I need to update KDE, which (newer) Linux distribution
    would you suggest?

    Thanks in advance.

    Did you specify the --prefix-option for configure?
    What does "kde-config --prefix" say?
    For Redhat you usually need:
    configure --prefix=/usr
    Then run "make install" again.
    Cheers,
    Joachim
    PS: If you didn't specify a prefix, you might want to
    remove the files that were installed in /usr/local instead.
