will do arctic, thanks B)

yea actually i thought i might not have the lastest version so i tried to urpmi everything but I already had everything installed. If I don't "downgrade" I have no idea what else to do!

I recently updated to 10.1 OE from CE because I was dissapointed with how many packages I had to urpmi to get things workin . I found out that at least with CE I could finally compile programs from source after satisfying endless dependencies. After trying to ./configure a cool them from kde-look.org, I had to install xorg-development packages as well as a couple others....I thought I was done, but then the final error I get is: checking for Qt... libraries /usr/lib/qt3//lib, headers /usr/lib/qt3//include using -mt checking if Qt compiles without flags... no checking for moc... /usr/lib/qt3//bin/moc checking for uic... /usr/lib/qt3//bin/uic checking whether uic supports -L ... yes checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no checking for rpath... yes checking for KDE... libraries /usr/lib, headers /usr/include checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first. I've googled (as always) to find a solution before posting but nothing I found helped....possibly because none of it was mandrake specific? I know I have these packages installed, but I don't see any options I can pass to ./configure when I use the --help option. Any ideas?

if any of you reading this are able to run superkaramba can you tell me how? I'm still pretty new to linux(probably a given :P ) and it won't run by :P just typing superkaramba in the command line. I also mauled around in some directories without finding an executable. :unsure:

ok install finally worked! Now if I could just figure out where to run it from....

ok i almost thought that...when i typed in urpmi python it says everything already installed...........but python-devel is currently downloading! I'll tell you how it goes :D

actually nm, i just updated my urpmi and got the right packages installed...whew! Now it tells me to run make, and here is the output: make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35' Making all in doc make[2]: Entering directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/doc' Making all in . make[3]: Entering directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/doc' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/doc' Making all in en make[3]: Entering directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/doc/en' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/doc/en' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/doc' Making all in po make[2]: Entering directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/po' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/po' Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/src' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/src' if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/home/bigcx2/Downloads/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -MT main.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/main.Tpo" \ -c -o main.o `test -f 'main.cpp' || echo './'`main.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/main.Tpo" ".deps/main.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/main.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wmissing-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++ In file included from main.cpp:5: ./karambaapp.h:14:20: Python.h: No such file or directory In file included from main.cpp:19: karamba.h:8:20: Python.h: No such file or directory In file included from main.cpp:22: karamba_python.h:44: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `PyObject' with no type karamba_python.h:44: error: expected `;' before '*' token karamba_python.h:45: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `PyObject' with no type karamba_python.h:45: error: expected `;' before '*' token karamba_python.h:46: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `PyThreadState' with no type karamba_python.h:46: error: expected `;' before '*' token karamba_python.h:48: error: variable or field `getLock' declared void karamba_python.h:48: error: expected `;' before '(' token karamba_python.h:49: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `PyObject' with no type karamba_python.h:49: error: expected `;' before '*' token karamba_python.h:50: error: variable or field `releaseLock' declared void karamba_python.h:50: error: expected `;' before '(' token karamba_python.h:51: error: `PyObject' has not been declared karamba_python.h:51: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `pArgs' with no type make[3]: *** [main.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bigcx2/Downloads/superkaramba-0.35' make: *** [all] Error 2 No freakin' clue.....

Ok, I've about given up...I have gone through and fixed so many things wrong with installin superkaramba from source it's makin me crazy. Mdk 10.1 CE seems very buggy! This is the last problem I think....the error it is giving me now says checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! I thought it woud be a good idea to try to locate them so I type in locate k*.h when I type that in I get: warning: locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old Ok, so I scrapped that. As always, I googled it before coming to here, and as i assumend I found many similar posts, and they all say to install the kde devel packages--I tried looking for them using rpm.pbone.net and I actually found the one I needed ( kdelibs-3.2.3-99.1.101mdk.src.rpm ) I saved this file from the internet and opened it with software installer that told me it needed an xorg development package to proceed so I ok'd it. After getting the xorg package it dissappeared like it was finished but still no luck running configure. AHHHHHHHH! HELP

I swear I can't win for losing!!! I figured I would try 0.34 instead and I even got my hopes up when the rpm package installer came up and told me to insert installation cd 3 because packages were going to be installed. I did this and the next thing I know an error window pops up that says something which I can't even paste here because when I quit and tried to do it again it wouldn't even do anything...maybe the software gods are not in favor of me having a cool desktop! Any other programs or methods I should try?

Thanks...will keep in mind! Any suggestions anyone? :unsure:

i recently tried installing superkaramba through source but it was so buggy i had to give up, so i'm trying the rpm package instead now. When I installed it as root this is exactly what happens: warning: superkaramba-0.35-3bgn.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID f90b1df0 1:superkaramba warning: user sgrayban does not exist - using root warning: group sgrayban does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] warning: user sgrayban does not exist - using root warning: group sgrayban does not exist - using root What does this mean?

I know this is probably a really stupid question but I have to ask anyway. Once kxdocker is installed how do I run it? I don't see any shell scripts or anything in the directory that I installed it, and typing kxdocker at the command prompt does not work...

Ok, I downloaded the rpm and used rpm -i --force super.....rpm to install it as root. It gave me these messages : warning: superkaramba-0.35-3bgn.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID f90b1df0 warning: user sgrayban does not exist - using root warning: group sgrayban does not exist - using root warning: user sgrayban does not exist - using root warning: group sgrayban does not exist - using root Does that mean it was successful? Now what?

I am new to linux and wanted to change the way KDE looks so I recently downloaded Superkaramba. I am using MDK 10.1 CE with everything needed for this installation. When i run ./configure it works fine up until the point when it says : configure: error: We need a working libXext to proceed. Since configure can't find it itself, we stop here assuming that make wouldn't find them either. I have googled this many times but have not found any solutions up to this point. I'm pretty sure I have the required files I need but I'm just not sure how to tell the installer that I do. Any suggestions?
