Ok, here's what I did to install Kmymoney on 9.3 (should be exactly the same on 9.2)
6) Looking around, I see a configure command so I issue it:
./configure
When configuring on your standard SuSE desktop, shouldn't you do: ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3/ I'm pretty sure that the source will only put things in /usr/otherplaces unless directed otherwise with the prefix directive. I thought that SuSE was one of the few who used the /opt subdirectory for KDE.
It does a lot of checking and completes with the message:
Good - your configure finished. Start make now
If you got an error message from the ./configure, then you are probably missing something.
7) I then issue the make command.
make
This compiles a whole bunch of stuff and completes without error.
8) Then I ran:
make install
I'm pretty sure you should do the root thing prior to running that command by typing: su and than entering your root password. xxxxxxx than make install The only drawback relative to going the source route is that you have to manually remove it if later on down the road you find a good RPM package for it. If you install the package without removing the original source program, you may have issues attempting to run that program. Regards, Ken
