KDE-Forum.org

I'm a relative newbie, running Mandrake 9.1. Two days ago I decided that I would try to switch to KDE 3.2 since I was having some problems compiling Arson. I used Konstruct, and it stopped a couple of times. I added packages, and started it up again. Finally, it came to some error with ltdl.lo . I left it for the next day (yesterday).

So, I come back and try installing some -devel packages using urpmi as well as CUPS and MySQL for good measure. Still didn't work. Then, I'm checking around, and KDE releases 3.2.1 I think "great, problem solved." I used Konstruct, and hit what apears to be the exact same problem. I then run Konstruct with the --debug flag. It stalls at the same problem, and gives no more information on the error.

I google message boards, and I come up with three other people that had the same problem, but no one responded with any answers. So, I am at an impasse. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it or where to look? I will post some of the output below. Before I do, though, a big thanks to the KDE team. I've used KDE for ~4 years now (Caldera 1.3) and I really apreciate the effort they have put in. Thanks alot.

Found a post on this board that talked about it a little. It suggested updating autoconf. I did that, and used "info autoconf" to get the version. It will still not compile. There was a bug report referenced that suggested removing some files. I will try it out when I get back from a class. But, does anyone know whether the files they are talking about are in the "konstruct" directory where the building is taking place or in the "home" directory where I am installing 3.2.1?

Thanks.

I compiled and installed the newest autoconf. I deleted the "konstruct" directory, redownloaded, and did "make install" again. It got further this time, but it still didn't go all the way. Here is the output below (after recompiling after the original attempt). If anyone has any idea what is going on, I would apreciate it.
