[SLE] ./configure, make, make install (as root)
Got a .tar.gz program which would allow me to connect my HPLX 200 with my Linux box. Being a RPM installer by preference I am a little concerned what to do. I have downloaded the .tar.gz file in a directory of my home and looked at the further steps. They include: ./configure make make install (as root) ./configure I have done but at the end of a lot of information I got following info: 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 have no idea about which prefix the information is talking of. And before going into make and make install I want to get the configure part right. Have neither an idea where and how to do the make and make install. Somebody could help me out? -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

The prefix is probably the path where KDE should be installed. SUSE is using /opt/kde3 directory. Try ./configure --help as it usually prints options that script accepts, and look for some that talk about KDE. It would be nice if you know for what distribution source code was written. -- Regards, Rajko.

It might also help to actually /install/ the KDE-devel packages. ;) You probably need kdebase3-devel and kdelibs3-devel. Just install those and see what configure tells you. Please mind: it could be a bit of a puzzle to get a .tar.gz package compiled. There might be usefull hints in INSTALL or README about what packages are needed. What I usually do is to try to find a rpm package with that name, and see how those guys(?) did it. The 'BuildRequires' usually provides hints. Try http://rpm.pbone.net/.

I hope that OP will read this too. I thought about devel packages, but some distributions have KDE in different place (not /opt/kde3) and that might be the reason for failure. That was the reason to ask for what distro code was written. -- Regards, Rajko.

tar.gz are more or less universal. You just have to decipher what the error messages really mean, which is not easy at all. When you have installed a dozen or so packages, you start to get the hang of it :-) Usually, most errors in the configure phase means you need to install a something-devel.rpm - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEjAG1tTMYHG2NR9URAvZzAJ9nKMAM2cLBtLFpoW0q2RNtLiaRMwCgji91 A1//kqlOJjOeB1fPm2OWgyk= =iCoc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

What it is looking for is the c(c++) header files for KDE (the .h files). Install the KDE development packages using Yast (In Yast select 'Selections' as the filter in the top left, and check KDE Development and click on 'Accept').

Have neither an idea where and how to do the make and make install. Somebody could help me out? Have you extracted the source code from the tar.gz file? You need to do that first. Then go into the directory it creates where you told it to expand and then run the steps from ./configure, after reading the readme etc files first first of course.

Have you tried ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3? That should tell configure where your KDE is. You might also need some -devel-packages, e.g. kdelibs3-devel.
