Kopete Install Help For Noob (Probably Easy Answer)

Hi, thanks in advance for helping me.

I am totally new to linux, and I installed my first distribution yesterday.

I am running Mandrake 9.2, and KDE 3.1.1.

I just downloaded Kopete 0.74, and I have no idea how to install.

my guess is...

./configure
make
make install

then what? Should the application appear somewhere?

Any help would be excellent!

Thanks so much,

Geoff

The easyest way is to install from .rpm, try this:

if you go through make and make install then you should simply type "kopete" in a shell, you could type "kopete & exit" to close the shell.

I don't know Mandrake but I think that kopete should appear into kde menu ( "Internet" or something sorta )
