Kopete 0.8.0 error in ./configure

Hello !

I have some trouble when I execute ./configure in kopete-0.8 with MDK9.2

checking linux/tcp.h usability... no

Then I can do make but when I launch kopete I can configure it.

What must I do ?

Thanx

It would appear that you do not have the development headers for tcp and ppp installed properly. To compile kopete from souce it needs to be able to compile these files. Try searching for tcp.h and if_ppp.h on http://rpm.pbone.net.
Simplicity is the staple of the working man.

Nothing append !!

Thanks for this link.

But I install all of the libraries that contains tcp.h or if_ppp.h and nothing append ?!

I always have kernel source, glibc and glibc-devel. tcp.h and if_ppp.h are present in my computer but cannot be compiled as say the error message.

I test to change the directory of the include C header file with --includedir option :
--includedir=/usr/include
--includedir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include
But it's the same result. It doesn't work ?

Thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem, I use Mandrake 9.2 with Kde 3.1, but I don't understand the solution. I have install some tcp rpm from cd's mdk.
If you have some time, give me the direct link for download the files.
Thank for your answer.

Building from Kopete source = trip to dentist

I just don't compile kopete from source. It's just not worth it. Maybe once they get to version 1 things will be better, but even when it seems to compile cleanly and installs, weird stuff still happens. I just get binary packages and be done with it. IMO, if there's something missing that'll make the program squirly then it should just fail to compile, not half work.

So, my advise is to download the binary and be happy. :)

I disagree. Source is sthe safest route when dealing with young applications such as kopete. When using a binary you are using a program compiled for a system that nine times out of ten is not configured the same as yours,. thus you run the risk of the binary not finding the necessary libraries, not installing in the proper prefix, not installing within the path, not installing native to kde or not installing period, also once it is installed, since it was compiled for a non-native system you run the risk of having unnecessary crashed for reasons unknown that may not even broadcast kernel messages. When compiling from source you are configuring the program to tailer it to your specific system with the proper prefix to have it run within the system with the proper libraries in the proper location and within the path. This added level of control is in most cases a luxury when dealing with a young developing program such as kopete. Also, most of the available binaries dont work, and there are no binaries for some distros.

The warning in the configure are not the problem.

I'vs just successfully made kopete. I dont know why it did not work before. But now it works.

Try to install/desintall the kopete rpm before compiling.

Nevertheless, kopete installs itself in the /usr/local/kde directory. so if you type kopete int he konsole it doesnt works.

And if i execute it from /usr/local/kde/bin i have no plugin in the configuration window. but it is another topic.

It's not finished

Hello !

I think you are rigth, it can be an other topic !!

Perhaps it is not a problem, I have the same thing to you. When I launch kopete I can't see and configure the plugins.

Because the compilation problem is before this one, I search to resolve the first problem.

But like I said before with the 0.7.5 I have the same compilation problem but the plugins can be configure.

So I don't know what must I do ?
I just notify these bugs to developpers !

Thanks for your help !

Bye
