As I wrote below "rpm -q kdelibs" If you are (successfully) running kde2.x then it IS installed. What package are you trying to compile? The kde-user list is also a good place to get info on kde packages and such. The file in question "kde-config" should be in /opt/kde2/bin/kde-config.
kde-config --help returns nothing
I don't think I have kde-config installed. Im running kde-2.0.1 and I looked on the CD's and cannot find the rpm. What do you think I should do now?
"rpm -q kdelibs" should show kdelibs-2.1.2-0 or kdelibs-2.1.1-?. If it is then I would suggest in addition to using --prefix=/opt/kde2 there is should be an option for specifying either the kdelibs/kdedirs or something like --extra-libs/--extra-includes and point them to /opt/kde2/lib and /opt/kde/include.....

I seem to remember from a previous question that the kde-config file only became a binary with 2.1. in 2.0 it was a text config file in /opt/kde2/share/config. Perhaps this is the problem here. There was a solution, but I forget what it was. Search the mail list archive, it wasn't that long ago. On Friday 08 June 2001 19:07, Mark Hounschell wrote:

Be sure to read the previous mail from Anders Johansson. It WILL help you. The same problem with the same package. It's in the archives. Just looked at it. Search the last 2 months for kde-config. Mark

This is most likely what the problem is/was. I ran into this when I tried to compile KMyMoney2. The easy solution.... upgrade KDE and QT. If you check on the site at http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/requirements.html it says that QT must be at least 2.2.4 and KDE must be 2.1. As soon as I upgraded QT and KDE, and did a configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt2 everything was happy. On a side note, I found KMyMoney2 a nice package, but I found it too basic to replace Quicken or MSMoney (or whatever Windows package you use). It has the potential to be a good personal finance package... just not quite yet. As an alternative, compare http://moneydance.com/ I have been beating it up for a week or so now and am very impressed with it. Clayton
