KDE compilation under Debian ends with "cannot find -ls

Hi,

I´ve tried Debian and want to use the newest KDE (3.3). So I didn´t use the KDE that comes with Debian but downloaded all packages and compiled them manually. I installed the packages in the following sequence:

qt
arts
kdelibs
kdebase

After downloading and compiling some additional packages (detailled information available if necessary) I managed to come up to "make" and "make install" for kdebase. There I got the following final message:

make[2]: Entering directory ‚root/kdebase-3.3.0/kcontrol/crypto’
/bin/sh ../../libtoot –silent –mode=link –tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor … -kio -lssl -lcrypto
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lssl
collect 2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [kcm_crypto.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory ‘/root/kdebase-3.3.0/kcontrol/crypto’
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/root/kdebase-3.3.0/kcontrol
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

KDE won´t start.

Any ideas welcome
Erwin

you have to install the ssl development package!

the -lssl can be split to -l and ssl, where -l is "look" and ssl is the package name.

Quoted

Original von erwin


/bin/sh ../../libtoot -silent -mode=link -tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor ... -kio -lssl -lcrypto
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
collect 2: ld returned 1 exit status

libtoot ??? Shouldn't that be libtool? That seems broken to me.

Did you copy this bit over from the console you compiled on?
