Kopete 0.12.0 under Gnome...

Hello,

I'm a French user of Ubuntu Dapper with Gnome.

I prefer Kopete to other chat clients. I try to compile Kopete 0.12.0 stable but I have this error:

Quoted

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!


People told me to install kde-devel but it installs a lot of things (programs...) that I don't need.

Is it possible to install a less restrictive package to pass this error?

Thanks for you help...

When you like the compile software, you need the kdelibs-devel package. This package will install a lot of dependencies, like arts-devel, qt-devel, and so on. These additional packages contain essential information about the installed software to compile new software.

For most software, you can also see if your distribution provides binary packages. For Kopete 0.12 I don't think this will be the case, as it's just been released and distributions prefer to keep their software "stable" (at the version originally shipped).
