Anyway, after some trouble with sourceforge, I downloaded this package but it doesn't build. I think the problem is that now I'm running Gnome, not KDE. I run "make configure" but then when I run "make" it 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!
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to handle this one (OK, it's not that I'm unsure, I have no clue!)
As Carlos suggested, this package comes in the standard Suse distribution, so you may want to try that one. If you're dead-set on compiling it, though... The error you're getting happens because you need the "-devel" packages for KDE. Such packages include so-called "header" files (typically named *.h or *.hpp), which are C or C++ files which tell applications (like the one you're trying to compile) how to interface with another application or library (in this case, the KDE libraries). Such files are required when a C or C++ application or library wants to use features from other libraries (again - in this case, KDE). i don't know what the KDE devel package(s) is/are called, but open up yast and search for packages with KDE in the name and you'll certainly find it/them pretty quickly. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
